We go out
We break up

But is that
What love is all about?

We say that we
Love eachother

But in the end
We hurt one another

Why can we throw
Around love and not hate?

They are both
Strong words

And ecah have
A place

So, think about it
What really is love?

Nowadays people don't realize what they are doing to themselves. They call it love when it's only like. And when they really hit love they run from it. I like your writing - really has me thinking ..
