Love is

[Breibhinn]

Love is...

...A light.
A light burning
deep down inside
your heart.
And...
...Love is a dream.
A dream you wish will happen
someday.
When the time is right,
when your time is right.

Helping a friend in need,
shows love and care.
That love,
will show them the way.

Love is a light! A light
that only you can share.

Why not let this light
shine and burn?
To show others the way?
You the way?
Are you afraid that someone
will take advantage
of your light?
And put it out with
false words, lies, or even
Love?

You hide your love in fear,
in fear that your dream will fall
beneath your feet.
Your dream of love.

Now...
...Love is a lie.
Those words "I love you"
Are the start of every
heartache.
Some people mean it
when they say it,
and some people
say it when they don't mean it.

It's hard to believe in love,
when
you've never been loved.

Some say love is a gift, and
others say love is a lie.

For me though...
...Love is ancient.
Love is an old feeling
deep down inside my heart,
That I hide from everyone.

I'm afraid to be loved,
And...
I'm afraid to be heartbroken.
But most of all,
I'm afraid that those certain words
"I love you"
Are a lie...

...Love was everything
I thought it was...
...except true...

WAHH!!! I get shivers reading this >.< So beautiful and sincere! It is very sad but true, I like how you dont make it sound materialistic. "I love you" these words arent always what show love. My mom gets angry when I dont say these words back to her... actions sometimes say more than words.
