Love.This one word opens your world of imagination.It awakens a lot of mixed emotions in your heart and stuff in your head.It makes you think about your past experiences in life,the people with whom you have shared your life with,places,situations and even the lessons you got out from those said experiences.The mere mention of the word triggers your mind to dream for love and even imagine yourself having someone whom you love most in the future.It may sound corny,sentimental,shocking or whatever you have in mind but the truth is ,that's love. Love arouses a lot of emotions or feelings within you .It is sometimes shocking,like the person you hated the most and the last person you want to think of will someday or somehow turn out the person you want to make love with,the person you wish to father or mother your children and the person you want to spend your whole life with.Puzzled? Well ,I guess that's true,that's love.Sometimes love does work in mysterious ways .Love also brings happiness that it seems everything around you is just so fine.It also makes you feel excited and you desire that you could be with the person you love in everytime of the day.When he or she is far from your reach,you wish that if only you can pull the days to make it faster and when you're also together,you also wish that the days could only be longer.It's just so funny how love can be so damn crazy.But on the other hand, love does'nt always have a good picture as what people would want it to be and as what fairy tales have inculcated here in our minds.To make myself clear, love does not always have happy endings,sometimes it ends tragically.It also brings pain and suffering to some if not most of the people.Not to mention the sacrifices and trials that you have to go through when you're in love.As what people would say,to love is not that easy.But why do people do not lose hope for love, why do they still long for love? I think the closest answer I have here in mindis because love is the greatest thing of all.It is what makes people want to go on with their lives,it is that something which drives or inspires you to continue your journey in life amidst all the difficulties, the heartaches,the cryingsand sleepless nights,the sharp pains you feel deep within you when someone dumped you or when you found out that your boyfriend or girlfriend cheated on you.But despite and inspite of what love brings to you ,it is worth the risk of trying.That is one thing I can guarantee you.As what the saying goes..."It is better to know love and lost than never knowing love at all".
