Love : A Mystery (Spoken Word Poetry)

How to know if you are in love?

To be honest you wouldn't know,

You wouldn't know when and why and how it happened,

But the only thing you would know is this

It did happen

It did happen and you can do nothing about it.

Love is a complicated theory to me.

It is like a wave that washes over me

leaving me all jittery and cold and excited.

It is like that sock I have been looking for all over the house only to realise that I am wearing it.

It is like the best thing that can happen to someone.

And maybe the worst thing as well.

Love is an unwelcomed guest.

It wouldn't tell you when it will come crashing down on you like reality.

It wouldn't tell why it has come to completely turn around the world you have built around yourself like a protective castle.

It wouldn't tell you how it would arrive at probably the best or the worst point in your life.

And to be honest, It doesn't care.

It just arrives like a wave ready to drown you but then again it's up to you if you like that wave to let it drown you or if you like that wave to take you in the moment, ticking your toes and your feet.

Love can arrive in any form.

It can arrive in the form of that egotistical jerk you know.

It can arrive in the form of that background boy you never noticed.

It can even arrive in the form of that popular boy you kinda liked but then all of a sudden you went,"Meh, I don't care."

It can arrive in the form of that boy you have known all your life, hell it can arrive in the form of someone you least expected to fall in love with.

And when it arrives you will know.

You will know the second you look deep in love's eyes, no matter if you saw it for the first time, a few times or even a million times.

but remember this. When love arrives, don't push it away.

Don't let it go and don't you ever forget it.

Because true love only comes once in life.

And when it goes it never returns.
