What is love but lust and dependence?

Within time they begin to understand each other,

Is that understanding love?

You can understand someone and not love them,

If you decide you do not want to love them

But if you want to love, I’m sure you can.

Even those with dirty past,

And who have committed horrific deeds,

They have their stories, and they are human,

But we can choose to not accept.

Its helpful you the couple is compatible,

Its makes things easier, less willingly to block off

But we can have love for anyone, its lust that we may not.

I think that is where is began,

As animals to reproduce, a man and woman are necessary,

Are hormones cause the attraction and lust,

To many it’s they feel is right.

Then there are those who are not attracted

To the opposite sex, instead they fall in love

With one of the same sex.

You can love someone you do not have lust for,

But if you could have lust wouldn’t you.

We have all types of relationships with love,

But the romantic one that marriage implies,

The one imagines with hearts and homes,

Is undeniably more successful with lust.

How many happy ones do you know

Where there is no lust at all?

Where you are not even with the gender you are attracted to?
