Inspired by Ashe's "Falling Out Of Love"...


People Think Love


People think love
Is a present-or-absent,
All-or-nothing kind of a thing.

People think love
Is something either you feel,
Or you don't.

People think love
Is a place or state or condition
You fall into,
And out of.

But I think love
Comes in several different kinds,
And all different amounts.

And I I think once you love
Someone, to some extent,
In any way,
It doesn't go away--
Not completely, anyway.

I also agree that once you've loved, that feeling is never completely gone for that person no matter the end's hurt. Love is so complicated at times, another thought that this made me think about. Liked where you sent my thoughts on this one, thanks.

I know you are right, but an emptiness remains when the feeling changes. The heart aches for the closeness and the excitement of the feeling. The love always remains.
