Real Love

Love,
Now there's a word
I know well.
I see it,
I read it,
I hear it,
I even write it.
 
But, you know,
I have never
Experienced it.
Yes,
I love my family
And even my friends.
 
But that feeling,
Real Love...
You know the kind.
The type that
Reaches deep
Into your soul,
Makes your heart
Skip a beat
And clouds your mind,
'Til only one thing remains,
That special person.
...eludes me.
