I came across this poem in a book of poems I wrote when I was younger. I was around 16 when I wrote this. Thought it to be very true and wanted to share. 

LOVE IS LIKE A DIAMOND 

Love is like diamond. It has its rough edges and smooth surfaces. 
Sometimes it shines and sometimes it becomes dull. Other times, 
it may not even be the real thing. 

Love is like a diamond because it has great worth and is treasured. 
Unlike the diamond you can't buy love, although many try. 

It may be tested, but if it is true it will come through 
with a sparkle and a shine. 

Love is like a diamond. Handle with care so it will last forever.
