Unscientific Answers on Love

Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing, And your voice caught within your chest?
It isn't Love, it's Like

You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right?
It isn't Love, it's Lust

Are you proud, and eager to show them off?
It isn't Love, it's Luck

Do you want them because you know they're there?
It isn't Love, it's Loneliness

Are you there because it's what everyone wants?
It isn't Love, it's Loyalty

Do you stay for their confessions of Love, because you don't want to hurt them?
It isn't Love, it's Pity

Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?
It isn't Love, it's being Unconfident

Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?
It isn't Love, it's Infatuation

Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
It isn't Love, it's
Friendship

Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?
It isn't Love, it's a Lie

Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake?
It isn't Love, it's
Charity

Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?
Then it's Love

Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?
Then it's Love

Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are?
Then it's Love

Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?
Then it's Love

Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?
Then it's Love

But do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and elation pulls you close and holds you?
Then it's Love

Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?
Then it's Love
Now, if Love is painful, and tortures us so,
why do we Love?
Why is it all we search for in life?
This pain, this agony?
Why is it all we long for?
This torture, this powerful death of self?
Why?
Because it's...
Love
