Real Love

Melissa Puckett 1979 (Georgetown,Ohio)



Real love is saying I love you,
And meaning it with everything that's inside
It is letting go of your mask,
An forgetting one's self pride.
Real love is sitting together,
And not saying a single word.
Just enjoying the very moment.
Real love is like a seashell,
With a shell that's beautiful and bright.
And realizing the pearl inside,
Will reflect just as much light.
Real love is never fighting,
You love each other just as you are.
It's letting go of the bad,
Because the good is not too far.
Real love is counted in years,
In months,weeks and days.
It's the kind that lasts forever,
And in your heart it will always stay.
