What is love?
What it feels like?
How it makes you feel?
Love? What is it?
I can't feel it, I can't touch it.

Nobody loves me anymore. It's a fact and I'm not creating this up.
I don't know what it feels like to be loved by someone.
Yeah, I know my life is sad and nothing interesting to talk about.

Since my beloved grandma passed away 16 years ago, half of my soul gone.
I was a kid,
I was clueless,
I was curious,
I don't know why everyone was crying but as soon as I got older, I realized that I had lost the only person who purely loved me.
She's the only person who ever loved me.

I'm not an orphan.
I do have a parents, siblings, but I can't feel their love towards me.
It breaks me whenever I had to talk about "love" from family.

I can't feel their love,
I can't touch it,
It's like I'm in a dark, cold places,
I can't get out, I can't get help, I'm stuck.
My feelings are not dumb, it's valid.

I feel unwanted,
I feel unloved.

I missed my late grandma.
I keep a photo of us.
I was a toddler,
I was happy to sat beside her and took a picture together.
The living photograph. It's speaks a thousand of words that I couldn't.

I feel numb. I don't know how to feel the love, accept the love from someone anymore.

I've tried,
But I'm tired.

I had to stop chasing love, people.
I had to stop begging everyone to stay.
I'm tired,
I'm done trying.
I'm not sad nor happy,
I just don't know what to feel anymore.
