Love's Definition

By Dr. Yash Minaxi Joshi

"What is love?" A friend asked,

And all I spoke was your name;

But when I asked you the question,

For me, you couldn't say the same.

"What is love?" A friend asked,

And all I thought was your smile;

But I have been left waiting to see it,

And since then, it has been a while.

"What is love?" A friend asked,

And all I heard was your voice;

But you never said anything to me,

Because I was never your first choice.

"What is love?" A friend asked,

And all I saw was you;

But now I am left all alone,

While you are already with someone new.

"What is love?" A friend asked,

And all I touched was your silhouette;

But you left me sitting here alone,

Just like the day we first met.

"What is love?" A friend asked,

And I remembered everything about you;

And I told my friend "It's a feeling,

Which is meant for the select few."

"So that is love." A friend said,

And I nodded to him with a smile wide;

But I couldn't tell him the truth about love,

Because after all, you left me dead inside.
