Love of yourself
is where you must start
You must love yourself
within your own heart

Love is a treasure
that's worthless when hidden
For love has no value
until it is given

Loving and liking
are two different things
You feel good when you like
but with love your heart sings

Between lusting and loving
there should be no mistake
In loving you give,
in lusting you take.

Love is not something
you withhold out of spite
Don't use it as ammo
when you argue or fight

Love's not a contest
or some kind of game
It need not be equal,
nor always the same.

Love's not a fire
that consumes as it burns
It's a path filled with life
as it twists and it turns.

Love is alive,
like a plant it needs care.
Neglect it, it withers
its branches laid bare.

Love's spark cannot travel
through connections amiss
You renew each of these
when you hug and you kiss.

Someone can love you
and ne'er give a sign.
Be fair with your friends
treat them gentle and kind.
