This was the first poem I wrote; actually this is my first piece of actual writing. I know it's not exactly the best poem out there, but I wrote this when I had my first ever crush on a guy, a real guy, and not a fictional character. So obviously, it was a big deal. Enjoy.

Without love, life is nothing, some say,

while some say love brings life in harm's way.

Love is the biggest gift in life, some say,

while some say, love is something that keeps the gift called life at bay.

Love makes life live, some say,

while others, they just want to burn love like hay!

Some say love is like the perfect couple of a calm sea and a beautiful ship,

while some say love is the sole destroyer of friendship.

Love is a weird thing, I say.

It brings with it laughter, but also tears,

It brings with it security, but also fears,

It brings with it a lot of beautiful first days, but also regrets,

I brings with it light, but also so many dark nights.

Love is what we think of it,

Love is what we make of it.

Love can be the most beautiful thing to ever happen,

And yet can be the worst decision that's ever been taken.

Love is like the game of day and night,

when, for some time, even the sun gets out of sight.

But the one thing that every 'lover' can hang on,

is that the darkest hour is just before dawn.
