It’s someone you have an inexplicable pull to, someone you can see yourself having an imperfectly perfect future with (cause nothing’s perfect).
Poetic isn’t it? Accurate is it? We’ll never know.
As a mediocre singer once sang, “We all want love”, the level of accuracy to this statement will never be known. Just like everything love entails; never certain, immeasurable in nature, always to an unattainable degree. It’s as simple as saying God exists, I for one accept this as truth because as farfetched a mystery God is to the majority of mankind, so is love.
Not many take the time to educate themselves on this notion of love, myself included, but due to my socialization I’m privileged enough to know and to an extent grasp the idea of different types of love. There’re three types of love- so I’m told- but I can account for the knowledge of only two types; agape love and eros. Agape referring to the most perfect love known to man, the God fearing ones at least, the love that only God possesses where He is willing to die on our behalf, the selfless kind of love.
Eros is what we as human beings possess. The romantic kind of love that is, that according to one of my favourite songs:
Love they say it heals all wounds
Love removes the hurt in you ,
Love I know that this is true .
- Love They Say
Tegan and Sara
With the mention of this love, Eros, we can begin our tale of humans entangled in a knot, under the belief that the only way out of their mess is to find what every person wants (apparently), Love.
