What the hell is even love?" they asked.
I laughed and said, "Tell me, what's its task?"
One said, "Love's a song,
A melody that plays lifelong."Another jumped in, "It's laughter shared in pouring rain,
A healing balm for all your pain."
"But what if it fades?" someone cried,
"Leaving only tears we’ve tried to hide?""But love can hurt," another sighed,
"With broken hearts and tears we've cried."
"Yes," I said, "love isn't always kind,
It's a journey where you sometimes find:The highs and lows, oh! yes, the pain,
The sunshine mixed with pouring rain.
But love is real, in every part,
A mystery that fills the heart.""It's holding hands through thick and thin,
In every loss, in every win.
It's in the flaws, the imperfections,
Late-night talks, our reflections.""It lifts you high, it drags you low,
A mystery, you think you'll never know.
"But how do we know when it's true?
When every word feels overdue?""True love is felt, not always seen,
It's in the space that lies between
Patience when the road is tough,
A gentle hand when times are rough.""What about love that doesn’t last, That fades away, becomes the past?"
"Love that fades was still once real,
It's part of life, it's part of the deal.
It teaches us, it helps us grow,
In ways we often never know.""So love is both joy and sorrow,
The dreams we have, the hope for tomorrow?"
"Yes, love's a blend of joy and cry,
It's the very essence of our life.""It's found in friends, in family too,
In every bond that's deep and true.
It's the fire that burns so bright,
Guiding us through the darkest night."So here we stand, no answers yet,
With hopes and dreams, with no regret.
Though it's a puzzle hard to decode,
Love’s path is wild, an open road.In every twist, in every turn,
In hearts that yearn, in fires that burn,
Perhaps love’s answer lies above,
In asking, 'What the hell is even love?'
