Things they say about Love

Haven't they ever heard a song or read a poem or watched a movie?
If they had, they'd know that love is a school where the only curriculum is kissing,
love is the first day of sun after a whole winter of rain,
love is a secret thicket of small trees just outside of town,
love is how you are born,
love is how you ruin your life.
So when people ask, I want you to tell them that whatever this was,
it definitely wasn't that.
