Love Is.. Poem by Raina Hutchins

Love, I thought was meant to be
A word that makes you smile
Love, I thought was meant to be
A feeling so worthwhile

Love, I thought was meant to make you laugh
Not make you cry
Love, I thought was meant to say hello
Not say goodbye

Love is meant to leave you
Feeling happy every day
Love is meant to guide you
So you never lose your way

Love should be the dream
From which you never want to wake
Love should be the person
Whom you never will forsake

Love should be the one you lean upon
And your best friend
Love should be the reason for beginning
Not the end

Love's a word I used to say
But now it's in the past
Love to me is just a feeling
Never meant to last

Love to me is just a word
Reminding what I had
Love is just a word that leaves me
Lost, alone and sad

Love to me is make believe
A dream that can't be real
Love just leaves a bleeding heart
A wound you cannot heal

Love was once a light
That led my heart along the way
A promise in the dark, that
Never seemed to fade away

From 'forever you and me'
To walking on my own,
Love was once our story…
Now it's just a song alone

One-day love is everything
You ever dreamed would be
Then suddenly it leaves you
Saying 'I' instead of 'We'
