Love

 

Of course, we all know how to love.

Does one not know how to breathe the air from above?

Love hits us at times we perceive as unexpected

It shows how and where our life is directed.

Love travels, courses through our veins.

It can give us joys, it can cause us pains.

Joy comes when a love is returned.

When two hearts beat as one, it’s not difficult to discern.

Two anatomies: joined with each other.

Feeling as the world is theirs to conquer.

However, there are those who try to find love too fast.

Desperate to find their one other half.

Love can’t be rushed, but they are naïve,

Thinking that love can come ever so quickly.

Once they discover this, it is too late.

Because their hearts have already begun to break

The third type of love is the most cruel

It is weak-minded, really, the act of a fool.

When we fall in love with someone whose love can’t reciprocate

The pain, unbearable, feels as if your heart is rubbing against a grate.

You watch them always, from a far distance.

Thinking what it would be like to be hers or his.

Time passes on, and you look back on it later.

The love may have been foolish, but it still left a crater.

Love swallows us whole, just like an endless blue ocean.

Love makes up our soul, it is more than emotion.
