How do you describe something that seems so
impossible, yet at the same time gives you hope? It seems too good to be
true... but then again, it's too real to be ignored.
It gives you a reason to smile, to be happy...to feel alive. Like a beacon in
the dead of the night, it shines forth to illuminate an otherwise dark path,
its silvery beams tracing a course to guide you home. It carves a smile when
you think about it... and exudes a warm glow that makes you feel sated,
content.
It's a persistent ache in your heart that shadows the smile on your face,
It's a longing that is sated momentarily by a flash of a vision.
It's awakening to a pleasant thought that has no end in sight...
It's a restless fall into slumber with the promise of a dream.
Love is easy to say... but it's really a very abstract noun that may take years
for one to decipher and understand. Lots of people claim to know and feel love,
but few really understand what it's like to really love and be loved in return.
I am no expert either... but to me, love is about acceptance and understanding.
It is knowing all about your partner's peculiar quirks, tendencies and bad
habits (like maybe the fact he digs his nose in public and you find it cute)
and you accept these traits as part of his personality, it's about standing up
with him for issues that he believes in... and its about selflessly placing his
needs above yours; that's love.
Love does not question, it does not seek anything in return... and above all,
its about trust. It's about giving yourself to that person - your time, your
patience, and always being there when they need someone to care. It's about
forgiveness...and accepting all that they are and all that they can be.
You can deny it as much as you want... but love is here to stay.
