Love, who would have thought a simple 4 lettered word could hold so much power and meaning? I doubt anyone would have ever been able to point out the true definition for this word. We can exploit the internet all we want to find our definitions whether it be for something positive or negative but there will never be a definition that is good enough to us. So we keep searching until we find out our own definition for love then we try to survive on it. It's an important. ...... a necessity to posses. I would have called it a thing but in my point of view, love is greater than that.
Love is beautiful. It brightens the world by adding a few more shades and suddenly makes everything vibrantly colored and more alive. We can definitely get use to this. We like to see things in a new way, a way that makes it look prettier and a way that gently hides the flaws.
And that is the problem with love. It's a mask, a blindfold that covers our eyes and serves as a shield against the problems we never wanted to see in the first place. And when those problems are eventually acknowledged, arguments ensue and suddenly you are desperately holding on to someone. Yet thats person might either be staying or slipping away. We can't even tell ourselves if we fell out of love. It's a sudden realization that hits you in the middle of no where or better still the wilderness and leaves you stranded in whatever thing you are doing.
And then we force ourselves to love, we fake frelings, fake everything just because we want to appease the other person but the fact is we are being selfish. Because we want their love even though we can't reciprocate it. We enjoy the attention and sulk when we lose it. And then comes the desperation. We force to get the other person back , maybe by realizing , yes, you really do love them but you were just straightaway blind, or we want the attention. It's often the latter and sometimes the former . But it all depends on your experience with it.
Love do have different meanings just as colors are of different shades... watch ouf for part 2.
