Love is many things

entry picture

Love is many things,

But not an extract or a selection.

Love is complete.

 

Love is belief and trust,

Not demanding and expecting.

Love is total.

 

Love is making people happy,

Not seeking happiness.

Love is consuming.

 

Love is compassion and forgiveness,

Not deference, submission and duty.

Love is unconditional.

 

Love is benevolence and charity,

Not romance and novelty.

Love is unswerving.

 

Love is quality,

Not quantity of reassurance.

Love surpasses all.

 

Love is all the things that can be given,

And none of those that are taken.

Love is a total answer.

Thank you Steve and Jonnie.
I was unaware of any similarity with Corinthians.
As I have not read the Bible for decades I doubt there is any subliminal connection. Inspiration came from recent personal experience.

Inspired by Corinthians? I like Leonard Cohen's enigmatic, but understood in the heart definition of love as 'that deep indifference'.
