Love.
Love is a feeling many people experience, and sometimes, are fooled by.
Love encompasses various feelings and mental states, as the great Ed Sheeran once sang, people fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe just a touch of a hand.
It refers to a feeling of attraction or emotional attachment, it could also mean kindness or compassion towards other humans, objects or animals, even food.
Not everyone has a true love though, there's always the typical player who steals your heart, and steps on it after some time, we all know him/her.
Some people though, do get a true love, oh Sarah, how do I know when a love is true? You ask, well, my child, you don't, you just feel it.
Each human has five senses, sight, hearing, tasting, feeling and smelling, if you really think about it, they all point towards love.
Let me break it down for you, sight. The eye is a curious artifact, it will make you put all your attention on certain things, one of those things, are human beings.
You're walking around with your friends, when you suddenly see a brown hair with green eyes person, that's the moment when that person takes your breath away, you start picturing many scenarios with that person in your head, one of them being, you two together.
That's where hearing comes into the picture, you start listening to their beautiful voice, it's like a melody. You listen to their conversations, yes, weird, but it's true, you also listen to their singing, no matter how horrible it is, it'll still be great for your ears.
Now we move on to smelling, picking up their sweet, tropical scent and feeling it traveling through your nostrils is a magical feeling, a scent can remind you of a certain someone or something, smells connect to memories as well.
Feeling. The best feeling in the world, is when that special someone hugs you, kisses you, or touches you in general, feeling can also mean the notorious presence of emotions, such as anger, sadness, happiness etcetera, there's endless feelings in the whole world.
Then, last but not least, tasting. When that cheesy, salty and greasy slice of pizza touches your taste buds, it feels like fireworks inside, it's such a glorious moment, we all love it.
Love is an indescribable feeling, even though I just gave you a four hundred word explanation, you'll still never understand it until you actually feel it.
This is my personal explanation of love.
It's when you feel all tangly inside because you know you'll see him or her today, it's when you spot that person in a big crowd, and you melt inside when they wave at you. It's just the feeling of inexistent emptiness in you.
That feeling could either last forever, or be present in various occasions, not all of them though.
I'm one of the persons who never has stable person to person relationships, every time I open up to someone, they leave.
Maybe we feel empty inside because we leave little pieces of us in everyone who leaves, but, I have learned something out of that.
Your heart, is made out of many encounters, when someone leaves, you just have to accept the fact that maybe your paths were meant to cross, but you two weren't made meant to be, and also, as much as they hurt you, thank them, for helping you to complete your heart.
What you have to do, is move on, keep all those memories, you need to keep the good ones, and throw away the bad ones, after that, you can finally move on to the next person who will collaborate with the building of your heart.
Life, is a never ending circle of love and devotion, and also, emotional destruction. Time heals all wounds though, you just have to be patient, you'll eventually find your peace, and be happy.
Trust me, it'll work.
