what is love?

         

         

        what is love?
        love is to make a date
        be on time, never make someone wait
        be on time, never late

        dates after dates
        a date, eventually becomes a mate
        a house mate or a room mate
        a life partner -- the mate!

        sooner or later
        love gets a rebate
        sooner or later
        rebates develop into debates!

        debates, more debates
        different pusle, different heart rates
        someone will soon walk out the gate
        this is when love becomes hate

        Tate and Kate, partnership in hate!
        mate will no longer be a mate
        find another mate?
        better do it now, else too late?

        love, an attribute innate?
        or you need to press a button to activate?

        fate?
