Thoughts on Love
Love is what someone wants, love is what someone needs, love is what someone is, and love is what someone feels. Love can be for a person, a place, or even a thing, but what we don’t know is why love is what it is. We do know that love does exist and that it can be for good or bad. People can have a love for their parents or a love for a girl or a boy, but you can also have a hate of love. Love brings jealousy and sadness to anyone who doesn’t have it. Love can be a powerful thing and it can, like anything, be used with a good intention or a bad intention. Love is what everyone can share and have.

Puppy Love
Love is you.
Love is everything about you.
The way you hold me,
The way you kiss me.
I’ve realized what love is…
Love is you.
Love is her.
You don’t want me.
The way you hold her,
The way you kiss her.
I was nothing to you.
Love is her.
Love is him.
Love is everything about him.
The way he holds me,
The way he makes me smile.
I’ve realized what love is…
Love is him.

Things Unknown
You came and went,
Not much time was spent.
I never really knew
That much about you.
You never knew that much about me;
I wish you were here to see what I have grown up to be.
Now is my sweet goodbye,
So spread your wings and fly.

(Editor’ note: Thanks to Laurel McHargue at Lake County High School who put her students to the task of creating works with the theme of love on such short notice!)
