Love Is


Everyone tries to describe love.

To put it into words. 

But it is not that simple.

Love cannot be placed into categories and set apart.

It is undefinable

And ever changing.

Love is something that connects all of humanity.

Everyone loves.

But it is also something  that separates us.

Makes us each individuals.

Because everyone loves differently

And everyone's love is different.

Although love may not be tangible

You can still feel it.

Although love may not be visible

You can still see it.

Although love may not be audible

You can still hear it.

All around you.

And that is the beauty of love.

It is not just a feeling.

Not just another emotion.

It is a mystery.

Something that will always be shrouded

In wonder and doubt.

Because love is not always certain

Yet it is certainly there.

Love is contradictions.

It makes you like things you hate

And hate things you like.

It is not permanent

Yet it never leaves.

It is constantly growing and transforming.

It is not always beautiful

Yet it is still a thing of beauty.

Love cannot be set in stone 

Yet it can be found in the nature

All around us.

No one knows what love truly is

Until they find it.

But once it is found

It is known.
