Love Is Worth It

By: Melissa Susan Hensley

Love is pleasure.
Love is pain.
Love is loss.
Love is gain.

Love is rational.
Love’s unfair.
Love is hope.
Love’s despair.

Love’s intimidating.
Love’s a breeze.
Love is desperate.
Love’s at ease.

Love is numb.
Love is feeling.
Love’s heartbreaking.
Love is healing.

Love is giving.
Love’s denying.
Love is falling.
Love is flying.

Love is steady.
Love is quaking.
Love’s fulfilling.
Love’s forsaking.

Love’s complex.
Love is plain.
Love is sensible.
Love’s insane.

Love is trust.
Love’s unsure.
Love is wicked.
Love is pure.

Love is selfless.
Love’s conceited.
Love is wanted.
Love is needed.

Love is obvious.
Love’s elusive.
Love is private.
Love’s intrusive.

Love is tranquil.
Love’s impassioned.
Love’s contemporary.
Love’s old-fashioned.

Love is silent.
Love is loud.
Love is humble.
Love is proud.

Love is merciless.
Love’s remissive.
Love is confident.
Love’s submissive.

Love’s a gift.
Love’s a steal.
Love’s a dream.
Love is real.

Love’s abrasive.
Love’s demure.
Love’s a sickness.
Love’s a cure.

Love is brutal.
Love is kind.
Love is seeing.
Love is blind.

Love’s a blessing.
Love’s a curse.
Love’s for better,
Or for worse.

Love is body.
Love is soul.
Love’s a half,
Becoming whole.

Love’s a moment.
Love’s a life.
Love’s a husband,
And a wife.
