love: to like somebody/something in the strongest possible way
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
i listen to romantic songs,
as if i've been in love
but the truth is i never even
liked someone to that point
i write poetries on imaginary
lovers, compiling traits
i desperately look for in strangers
walking by, painting them
with words under dazed moon
i never felt, my racing heart before
or constricting feeling on the chest
not even rosy blush
not weaving romantic connection
or never ending smiles,
etched onto my face unknowingly
or heard cheesy lines
like shelley wrote for mary
though, i know the idea of love
magical experience to be part of
i know the understanding of it
of how you fall for someone
momentarily, yet recklessly
so much, you cannot but think
about it each time your
mind wanders
adoring them unconsciously
which you cannot keep hold of
blurred by hopeful smiles
or jittery nerves
a bittersweet taste, i always
carved for
i just know, love is just a word..
until someone gives it a meaning
