Love is understanding. <br />It is understanding the words unspoken <br />Held back behind a veil of silence, <br />It is understanding the hurt <br />Hidden beneath self-defiance, <br />It is understanding the joy felt <br />On hearing your achievements <br />It is understanding the longing <br />The loneliness, the pain endured. <br />For, when you really understand <br />The reasons behind the tears and fears <br />The motives and the dreams, <br />The thought behind the actions, <br />The restrictions which influence <br />And the desire of the Soul, <br />You can say, “I know, I understand.” <br />Its enough if you understand <br />For when you truly understand <br />You can forgive anything, accept everything <br />- You can truly love!<br /><br />Angelina Pandian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/5-love-is-understanding-on-love-a-collection-of-poems/
