Love, a complex emotion

Comes in many different hues

It can bring us joy and devotion

Or leave us with nothing but the blues

There's the love that's pure and true

The kind that fills us up with light

It's the love that guides us through

The darkest of days and the longest of nights

But love can also bring us pain

The kind that tears us apart

It can leave us feeling insane

And break our fragile hearts

There's the love that's kind and gentle

The kind that lifts us up when we're down

It's the love that's truly essential

When life tries to knock us to the ground

But love can also be cruel

The kind that leaves us feeling lost

It can make us feel like a fool

And leave us paying a heavy cost

There's the love that's sweet and soft

The kind that makes our hearts skip a beat

It's the love that lets us take off

And soar to new heights on our feet

But love can also be hard

The kind that takes everything we've got

It can leave us feeling scarred

And wondering if it was worth the shot

Love, a complex emotion

Comes in many different hues

It can bring us joy and devotion

Or leave us with nothing but the blues

In the end, love is what we make it

It's the choices we make every day

It's the joy and the pain that we take

As we journey along life's way.
