Is love truly love, if...?

^~^

By Rowan Finley Published about a year ago • 1 min read

Is love truly love, if it is not Velcroed to sacrifice?

Is love truly love, if it doesn't ripple out on the lake of existence?

Is love truly love, if it keeps long records of previous offenses?

Is love truly love, if it is spoken, with a smile, but then there are puppet strings of gossip attached behind your back?

Is love truly love, if you are two passing ships in the night of lonely obligation?

Is love truly love, if you determine that you are just a battery of opportunity for a fleeting season?
