Love

^"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸ Love never fails."~1corinthians13

Throughout history -and i read a lot of history- nations have always been ruled by one of these; fear, lust, greed, and love. of all of them, love was the least successful. shocking isn't it, but is it ? let's think about that for a bit. The way i see it love is the act of exposing your deepest needs, emotions, feelings, and desires, love by definition makes the lover weak and vulnerable, but it is that weakness that makes love itself strong. for if you have loved before -truly loved- you will know what i mean. it doesn't have to be a love story between a man and a woman, that's not the only form of love. true love is between a mother and her child, a brother and his sister, and two friends running down life's road together.

I fear there isn't much that i can say about love, because simply it is different to each of us, and even if it was the same, love is one of those emotions you can hardly understand, let alone describe. so instead, i will be talking about how strongly you can love someone, love them so much that the mention of their name gives you butterflies, that a scent that reminds you of them, would make you go dizzy, for if you weren't completely and utterly overwhelmed by the one you love, then i'm afraid you don't know what love is.

Like the powers of the waves crashing on rocks,

And the everlasting endurance of the rocks.

Like the strength of a mountain base against a river,

And the will of an icy peak against the sun.

Like the vastness of space and the cosmos,

And the tenderness of a lonely red rose.

Like the shout of a thousand warriors,

And the cheer of a triumphant city.
Like the comfort of a warm ocean,

And the sweetness of a running river.

Like the blue sky in a summer day,

And the rain in a winter night.
I.Love.You.
