Love

What is love? 
  But a kiss more intense than the rest?
   Lust mistaken for fastened heartbeats?
    How could you truly ever know? 
     If when my eyes meets yours the feelings is mutual? 
      I fear being hurt. 
      I fear being real? 
      But someone please educate me
      I'll be the student you be the professor 
      I'd pay a millions dollars if someone could just explain
            Break down the philosophies of this mysteries 4 letter word
            Help me understand why the cycle continues 
               Love is powerful 
                     yet 
                Clinically provened to be deathly and sudicidal
                  Love can be a knee weaking experience 
                   Yet a spine chilling disaster
                       People drown themselves 
                               Just to recover from it's affects. 
                             What is love? 
  But a kiss more intense than the rest?
   Lust mistaken for fastened heartbeats?
    How could you truly ever know? 
         How can I be absolutely sure that it's worth what i'd be giving up? 
                     Security? 
                      A life of bitter lonliness? 
                        Someone please educate me
                            What is love?
