L.O.V.E

Love the four letter word
A gift given from god
Sometimes misused
And many times abused

Has it lost its meaning?
Is it still sacred?
It's dedicated to lovers
It's dedicated to friends

It's used to mend hearts
And fasten loose ends
Written on love letters
Showed in signals

Its love
We all love to be loved
Some more than others
But ultimately
Love rules all

It's what we live for
It's what we die for
All in its glory
We are slaves to love

Even though we don't see it
It's there.
You feel it; it simmers through your veins
And rushes to your heart

Ends in a BOOM!
And we back at the start
L.O.V.E
The four letter word.
