What is love? Part of it is that warm fuzzy feeling that leaves tingly sensations and encompasses every fibre of your being. Movies and novels suddenly start making sense to you, love idols like Darcy and Elizabeth, Anthony and Cleopatra, Noah and Allie suddenly come alive in front of you. Because you finally know what made them act so frivolously. No conditions required. That’s another way of defining love. It could be your second love, for heck it could be your fourth love.
The dark hole that emerged within you when a certain togetherness ended was always hidden behind your laughter. No one understood your pain and you never tried making them understand. You slowly built more and more walls to protect yourself. Yes, some love stories aren’t forever but the limited time that they are with us can either leave us with hopelessness or it can give us strength to move forward and open another chapter of our lives. You could choose to trust that person who might end up becoming “the one†or you could forever brood in the memories of your past. While there will always be a risk of losing another battle but there is always the possibility of success.
You never know when love arrives. It could be sitting right next to you in the coffee shop, it could be a tinder swipe away or it could be that person who has forever been asking you for a date. You finally let down your walls and start appreciating how much love we humans are capable of sharing. At first it seems that it won’t work out because it never worked out with the rest. With passing days your fears shed off like leaves during autumn and your love emerges like a true savour who drives away that dark hole that was residing in your heart. And finally you heal.
“All my soul follows you, love encircles you. And I live in being yoursâ€- Robert Browning
