The essence of love is like love itself

What is love, you ask?

Love means sacrifice

Torture

Bonds

Even death

And yet it has good purposes too.

Love is like a cloak in a storm

The only weapon you have in a war

Only food in a famine.

Love is a shield, against all dangers

One that will never break.

And yet there are many typed of love.

A parent's love

A friend's love

Both as strong as the next.

Lasting for eternity, it does, it does

Shielding you

Forever.
