Lips so soft, eyes so mesmerizing,
that’s not love.
Legs so shapely, smile so bright,
that’s not love.
Fantasizing, wishing, wondering,
that’s not love.
Love does not begin in a split second,
despite proverbs of old, but
infatuation is a first sight result.
That is a solitary idea, not mutual.
Love isn’t one-sided though,
but shared between two people
driven by Passion and guided by Honesty,
while Forgiveness lights the way.
