Love

For most it is holding a lover's hand
Watching the sunset on the horizon
A candlelit dinner on Valentines Day
The exchange of rings

For others love can come from another source
Those special souls that welcome you with a smile and hug
They stand beside you in sadness and joy
They laugh with you
Cry with you

Always treat you with kindness and respect
These special souls give their love freely
Never asking for anything but the like in return
This is the love that comes from friendship,
True friendship

A love that is treasured throughout a lifetime
Few are fortunate enough to know this kind of love
Those who do are the few that ever
truly understand the definition of love
