What Love Isn't

Love
Makes you do crazy things
Makes you redefine your idea of beauty
Makes you smile and cry
Makes you relinquish your beloved to another
To make them happy

Love
Makes you drop everything for a smile
Makes you talk nonsense
Makes you think about the future
Makes you one half of a whole
That only that other can complete

Love
Makes your heart melt
Makes your head spin
Makes your soul light up
Makes your body shake
With countless causes

Love
Doesn't make you angry
Doesn't make you jealous
Doesn't make you bitter
Doesn't make you violent
In the face of contradiction

Love
Don't say you fucking love me
You don't know what love is
Don't use it as an excuse
Don't use it as justification
And don't ever, ever say it to me again.
