Love

Love can be unfortunate

The way a stranger can invade your heart without your permission.

The way all it takes is time to develop

no specifications or distinct traits.

It just happens when you least expect it.

You don't get to choose who you love,

there is something compelling in its mystery yet frightening and uneasy.

Love can create a masterpiece,

a lasting story

or it can create disaster and misplaced emotions.

It can be a dream or nightmare alike.

Love can twist you up

and when you look in the mirror you see the reflection of someone else.

You can lose yourself.....

or find yourself....

Feel abandoned or consumed.

Be unsure or most certain.

But Love is inevitable.

It is unavoidable like death.

It makes no sense,

yet it is clearly understood.

It is inexplicable,

yet has so many words.

Despite its paradox and enigma,

Embrace love, give it selflessly, seek love, love your first love until your last breath

and your last love until forever.

Be unique in love,

perfect your love.

Find love in all things and love will find its way to you.
