What is not love?
Maybe we cannot surely confirm what is love,
but maybe we can answer what is not love.
Love should not be possession.
Possession means isolation.
Isolation means losing freedom.
How could you try to imprison your sweetheart
and announce that because you love him or her ?
Occupation,
satisfy your selfish greed merely.
It's nothing to do with your sweetheart
who you announce.
No occupation
also means not persisting.
The people who is loved by you should be free.
Just do that
how to get happiness,
how to be happy.
Love shouldn't have jealousy.
Jealousy comes of having no confidence.
You think you are not good enough,
so what you can use is only emotion
to kidnap the lover who you announced.
How could a person owes love
who leaves emotions only?
Love shouldn't have hate.
When you fall in resentment,
obviously love has gone away.
People are always resent someone.
At the same time,
they say how they love someone,too.
While invented an antimony
called love-hate relationship.
Love shouldn't have dependency.
Dependency is usually misunderstood as romantics and lingering.
In fact,
dependency causes inequality.
Any unequal relationship
is unable to be happy at all,
because in any happy life,
dignity cannot absent.
