Love is Not

Love is not a feeling that makes you warm inside.
Love is not emotion that sways along with pride.
Love is not a thing you fall into without a say.
Love is not a risk that you take along the way.
Love is not sensations that you cannot understand.
Love is not a need you feel to lie and to pretend.
Love is not a fun fair ride that gives you highs and lows.
Love is not a mystery that no one ever knows.
Love is not a state of mind that takes you to the moon.
Love is not like skipping down a path that's flower strewn.
Love is not a force that you cannot prevent or stop.
Love is not a compromise that makes convictions warp.

I wrote this when I studied 1 Corinthians 13 and thought about the common ideologies about love.
