The Things Love Is Not

Love is not what expressed in your best moments,
Love is your honest reactions when being loved.

Love is not the wealth you hand someone,
Love is your efforts to make someone self-reliant.

Love is not your romantic delights captured & released for views,
Love is what you feel deeply & express discreetly.

Love is not what makes you kneel before someone,
Love is what gives you strength to live a life upright.

Love is not what inspires your demise for rejection,
Love is your courage to retreat and restart for others.

Love is not your efforts to get pleasure,
Love is your endurance to the cold for the warmth.

Love is not when you treat someone special,
Love is your ability to treat everyone equal.

The things love is not,
The things we get the most.
