<p>I wish I can tell, but you are asking the wrong person,<br>I have been in love, yet I can't clarify it…<br>I know it sounds strange, but this is my truth…</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What is love?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Continuously, you are pushing to hear my clue,<br>Yet, I'm void and don't know what to utter out…<br>I'm afraid I want to avoid frightening you,<br>for I have encountered a painful version of love,<br>also I don't have a perfect phrase to explain how severe it is.<br>Please let me keep my knowledge to myself…</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What is love?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Again you go on and on challenging, yet I'm not eager to tell…<br>Perhaps love is sweet, yet I haven't tasted its sweetness….<br>Maybe love is kind, but I find it violent.<br>Maybe love is pure, but I have endured a stained portion of it….<br>Or maybe love is happiness, but I have received depressing and dull love that only resembled disgust and pain.</p>

<p>Please let me keep my perception to myself…</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What is love?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You keep on digging so deep into my opinions and feelings …<br>I'm afraid, I want to avoid scaring you…<br>Love is good, as everyone says…<br>So please dive in and find out for yourself.</p>
