I’ve always wondered what is love? Is it just an emotion, a feeling, something more than that or just a mere fancy feel good word?

Is it that strong force that tears out from your heart and puts a smile on your face? Is it that which makes you see what others would never notice and makes you overlook things that others might dissect!

Is it blind? Does it make you live in an imaginary world with fairy tale endings and movie romances, when in reality it might be a board game with all the moves carefully pre-decided by the one up in the sky.

Is it attachment? Is it expectations being fulfilled or is it just you being listened to. Is it tears or is it smile, or is it tears with smile?

Is it you looking at your child and feeling content and ecstatic at his coos and gurgles towards you or is it those unsaid words you see in the silent still eyes of your spouse.

Is it holding hands with someone that talk of an assurance of being together forever? (But, then is there really a together forever?!)

Is it your dog or cat curling up on your toes or rubbing their nose on your face or is it knowing that your family is always there.

Is it losing yourself to find someone or is it finding yourself while you search for the inner each other!

For me I'd like my love to-

Help me realise the dreams I’ve dreamt,

Tell me the answers to my questions unkempt.

To make my heart smile

To give me wings that’ll make me fly.

To make me live the life I want to live,

To hear the music from the world’s within!

A melody just for me

A moment only we will live.

A sojourn of unsung songs

Of glances so long!

A love of me, for me forever to be!

Signing off hoping you find your meaning to this small yet deepest word of all.
