What is Love

What is Love?

Is it the present?
Is it something you give?
Is it something you hold on to?
Is it a smile?

Was it the first time I saw you?
Is it a look in our eyes?

Can it be found in words?
Can it be felt through a hug?

Can you fake it?

Is there varying degrees of it?
Can it be found in a song or a photograph?
Can you take it back?

It was your last words to me.

I love you too mom.
