Poetry Competition: Tanishq Bhatnagar

Love is certainly a wonderful thing

One can love their family to their friends

This kind of love does not require a ring

But what kind of love does true love transcend?


First we must understand, what is true love?

To me, true love is a girl with brown eyes

Short, shining black hair, a smile that I loved

For me, seeing her was my favorite prize


But as a child, I thought did she love me?

Taking a risk, I needed to find out

So I wrote a note, and the truth was free

Despite rejection, I still had no doubt


As a child I was obsessed with love

And that obsession will live on above
