Love is something personal, it is something we come to understand by how we experience it. It has been given too many definitions. Too many books have been written about it, we read too many poems and stories about love, yet, it still remains a mystery, an enigma. We can theorize about it but in the end, we can never have an understanding of it unless we have experienced it in our life.
Love is sweet and wonderful. It is the sweetest, most wonderful feeling in this world. Yet, it can be frustrating too. It may leave a bitter-sweet feeling in the heart. It leaves traces of precious moments mingled with sweet illusions. Love brings a sense of being there on earth and a feeling of being out there, suspended in the air. When we love, we feel more alive, young and vibrant, we see things clearly, yet, we can not help but build castles in the air. We notice things we never notice before. We value simple things and hold them close to our hearts. Colors become more vivid. We feel a sense of deep gladness and tranquility. We feel the absolute rightness in our hearts because we love.
Love is life itself. It is the one thing in the world that we can never live without. With all the pain, and frustration love might bring, we still choose to love because the pain and frustrations can never equal to the sweetest, most wonderful things that love brings to our life. Love is a risk we choose to make. Love makes every wrong things right, in the end
