What does it mean to love?
Is it serious?
Is it meaningful?
Is it carefree?
What does love feel like?
Does it feel comforting?
Does it feel worth wile?
Does it feel blissful?
Who loves?
Do the poor love?
Do the unique love?
Do the spoiled love?
Why do we love?
Because we care?
Because it is an obligation?
Because we actually want to?
Love is…
Disguised
Absent
Something I don’t want to experience
Why?
I have Aspergers
I don’t want to love
Feel emotions
Be connected
I am forever isolated
What is love?
Baby, don't tell me

The author's comments:
I have Aspergers and I find it really interestring that I don't like to feel emotions. I have been reading about it, and found out that it's not uncommon in people with Aspergers, a form of Autism. I mostly wanted to share my differing opinion on love and emotions that come along with it.
