i'm still trying to figure out what love really is..
and after writing this i'm still as confused as before.



love

the concept has always been confusing to me,
how powerful it seems; how lovely.
yet it can be so devastating when it's not returned.
millions of girls trap themselves into the emotion;
they can't get out. it's like they're trapped in a room, but they want to stay.
they want to believe,
believe there's something out there to fight for;
something so real like on cheesy, chick flick movies with cliche endings.
they want that happy ending,
they want that one person who can make them happy forever,
they want that one person that they can hold forever,
they want that one person to tell their secrets to;
that one person to never let them down.
seems impossible, really.
those four letters;
that one word.
yet, i see it all around me
couples everywhere
it looks so easy; they look so happy.
why haven't i found it yet?
why hasn't everyone found it yet?
for others, they were in the same town, same school, same classes,
but for me, my first love lived three states away;
why can't it be easy for everyone?

i guess that's the part that makes it special;
you have to find it,
and once you do,
that's what makes it worth while.

your words are so very true. and, for me, my love was 3000 miles away across an ocean. But it was real and it was worth everything that we had to live that love as long as we could. Death was the only departure. Yet, the love still lives even though my sweet Love has gone on ahead of me through eternity our love will bring us together again when it's my turn to travel beyond this world.

a very thought-filled text written so very well.
