Love Is Just A Word

Love is just a word
But what does it mean,
Kissing, hugging, compassion?
No, it means pain, hurting,
Spirit, knowing heartfelt thoughts
That seem heartless.
Doing what you think is right
Even when it will tear you to pieces.
Putting away pride and
Showing what your heart
Truly feels.
Remembering and listening to
What your heart screams
Not what your head
Softly whispers.
