my own way of defining love by RIC S. BASTASA

my own way of defining love

when i love

i expect love to love

love,

without love loving love

what can love be?



stupidity,

foolishness, they all have

no place in me



when i love and i am not loved

i pack up and leave.



for love cannot be love

unless loved also in return



for love cannot grow

without love loving love

that cannot just love itself
