What is love?
When you think of love, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
Butterflies, right? I don’t believe that’s love, I believe that it’s a step into love but not love itself. Love, to me, is the feeling of home. Knowing that after a hard day, you get to be somewhere comfortable, safe, caring. When you step into home, you breathe deep and it smells familiar. Maybe it’s the scent of your favorite candle, hoodie, t-shirt, or food. Just familiar. Love is the melody of your favorite song, or someone’s laughter.
Maybe it’s the way you observe in the background, watching people pass and live their lives. It’s the toothless grin when a baby sees their mother, or maybe cuddling with your dog after a bad day at work.
Love is like the feeling of hot chocolate and hot shower after you’ve been outside playing in the snow. The feeling of an embrace after you’ve just been crying, or someone running their fingers through your hair.
Love could also be just something as simple as being on the phone with someone for a long time, but not even talking, just being near. Sitting in silence as you each do your own thing, like read or do logic puzzles.
Love is all around, it’s the kindness of a stranger paying for your meal in the drive-through, unaware that one small act of kindness changed your whole day for the better (maybe even in that moment, changed your life).
Love is simple moments, like driving around late at night in your favorite city with your favorite person. Windows down, blasting music, just feeling free in that moment as you sing and laugh the night away.
Love is probably one of the most simple yet complex things in the world. It’s also the most magical, so when you realize love, stay in that moment. Always remember it, always know you will find it again.
Truth
Green was never my favorite color
Until I looked into your eyes
I heard what you said to me
And I saw no lies
You tried to put on a brave face
But I saw through the disguise
You don't always have to be strong
It's okay to show a weaker side
I have your back
Through thick and thin
I always have and I always will
Until the very end.
Blue was always my favorite color
That was the one before you
All that brough was pain and suffering
And I never thought that love could be true
We've never even met
But I still know you're the one
People wonder if you're a threat
But I know that can't be true
I look at you and I'm home
There's nothing else to do.
Just friends
Is all we'll ever be
Just friends
You and me
People thought we were dating
I wanted to
But I'd rather be
"Just friends"
Than lose you.
