What is True Love?

What is true love?
Is it the love that comes easy?
No problems, but soon becomes
Boring with its simplicity
Or is it the love with complications
That arise and only through them
Do we realize how much someone means?
Complications are difficult
Yet they keep relationships strong
It you can survive through them.
Is it love when instantly sparks fly—
Your heart stutters and skips a beat,
Your palms sweat as your face flushes
Or is it love when it is gradual
From hate to neutral,
Neutral to like, and like to love
The love that we don’t realize is there
The love we work so hard to prove
Or is it the love that is no longer enough?
Is love born from passion or friendship?
Does love bloom like a flower in spring?
Beginning as a small bud
Before becoming beautiful and full
Or does love flash like lightning?
Brief and beautiful but
Soon vanishes without a trace
