Analysis of Only IF You…
I ask, what is love ?
I’m here to give you the love you need
I’m here to give you the love you haven’t received
I’m here to give you the love you may have dreamed
I’m here to give you the love you haven’t seen indeed
I’m here to love you the way you should be
I’m here to love you in ways you want to be
I’m here to love you like no other has
I’m here to love you the way your deserved to be
Only if you need me to
Only if you want me to
Only if you desire for it
Only if you believe in it
But I still do ask what is love?

About this poem
Well not sure what it reads to anyone!! But writing for those that like me maybe don’t really know what love is!! Or fear of it!! Fear to love, fear of being loved Being overwhelmed by loved, fear of commitment, fear of it being a dependency!! Well I think, if you haven’t loved, haven’t been loved, haven’t felt the pain then you won’t know what love really is!! I don’t…
