True Love

Anyone can love but
it takes a special someone
to know the true
meaning of the word.
It's not the love you give
a pet and take back when
the pets to old
that's absurd.

True love grows with time
for us all, you no longer
love the beauty, or the body.
You've grown to love
that person even
with all their flaws.

Love wasn't meant
to be perfect, and yes
it gets tested
but with time,
understanding,
patience and dedication.
Love can be perfected.
