Love comes in different faces

It’s not always steamy and spontaneous

Combustible and passionate

It could be consideration and giving

It could be in respect and restraint

 

Love comes in different faces

Sometimes bearing gifts

Sometimes in words and action

Sometimes in heart-aching decisions

Bearing discipline and punishment

 

Love comes in different faces

In the insanity of a writer

In a passionate portrait of a painter

In the reprimand of a father

In the selflessness of a lover

 

Love comes in different faces

So by what unit do you measure mine

By what scale do you compare

Who has made you the judge

To decide if my love is real enough
