Love Poem: Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

There are many different kinds of love
You can both see and feel
Some have even caused suicide pacts
That cause two lovers to kill

Puppy love is just the beginning
It's a love that never lasts
It's a love, we'll one day remember
One that's in our past

Then, there's that love that's forbidden
Which is really no more than lust
Not unlike Eve, in the Garden of Eden
One taste was simply a must

And what about your best friend 
That you only dated for a while?
The one you knew was destined to fail
But it always makes you smile

Then, there's the love like yours
You know me for who I am
Everytime, I think I can't make it
You always tell me I can

Others see me and don't know me
But you see me everyday
You know all of my faults and failures
And you love me, anyway

Unconditional is what they call it
You're the reason they give it that name
You promised me til death do us part
And I promised you the same
