Love Is A Feeling

I 

Was almost loved

I felt love

I knew love

But in the end

The only love

That ever felt like love

Couldn't love me

Fully and completely

So now

It's a memory

Stitched into the fiber of being

My body knows what love is

In a way that it wouldn't otherwise

Funny

When you experience love 

And realize

That's what it is at its essence

A feeling

And everyone has to decide for themselves

What to do with that feeling

Love

Does not mean

Anything in particular

It is simply an experience

That can inform you

Can change you

Can broaden your horizons

But love isn't experienced the same way by everyone

It isn't a prescription

It doesn't come with a handbook

Love is only another layer

Of the human experience

Without it

We are incomplete

But that doesn't mean

That we ever know what to do with it

Love

Is just

A feeling
