Love

****THE MUSIC IS THIS WAY--------->
PRESS PLAY WHILE READING. IT WILL BE TAKEN DOWN AFTER TWO WEEKS*****





To find love, you've got to define love
Cos see the definition specifies
The destination of the search that lies ahead for eternity
The seed of love is birth when the soul
identifies the need for it
I've been in places so far from what I craved,
behaved in ways I scared true love away,
pretended I had figured it out,
when sincerely I was on the wrong ground.
heading for loneliness and second best alternatives
cheap substitutes for the real thing,
Love is hidden not so it cant be found,
but so it can be embellished.
Love doesn't want to be taken for granted
nor mistaken for the romantic notion
that it can be created or depicted by a rose.
Love is what it says it is,
not some teenage disease that communicates with a kiss.
Love is undeniably the daugther of truth and a brother to hope.
Loves deserves to be known.
but would only be introduced by and to no other
than the one who is willing to learn exactly what love is.
Love is committing suicide to your past
and letting the present breathe in you
so that chances and possibility
and loves purpose is assured to you.
love is letting go of second guess emotions
and trusting the wisdom of the heart
to lead with the fearful hands of time tell a different story.
love is smiling yet in the face of no,
believing when the right of reason,
and the melody of reality in cent to lose faith in the very moment
with sight translates to joy,
love is singing the same song to
The changing heartbeat becoming over familiar to your evolving reason
because the soul knows that entertaining the impossibility of the possible
open to the painful wound of doubt
which abuses the adulterated accuracy of love,
Love is talking not TELLING,
Love is listening not hearing.
Love is learning not knowing,
Love is being not feeling,
Love is all that it claims to be,
Love is who I live to be.
Love is everything to me

Someone asked me recently if I have ever been in love, and I had a hard time answering them because I really do not know what love is. I would like to think I was in love once upon a time, but when I sit down and think about it, I don't think that emotion, feeling, situation can be defined as love. For lack of better words, I would say it was more of caring (deeply),liking(deeply) or maybe even lust(?). This song is by Lami. It strives to give a concise definition of what love is. I don't know how accurate she is but she does bring up some very important/interesting emotions and thoughts. After listening to this song repeatedly(I have had the album since November), I don't know if I would ever feel this way about somebody. I am too pessimistic when it comes to the male species after seeing, reading and hearing and also experiencing too many horror stories. I just cannot bring myself to trust somebody with my heart this much. I never give 100% of myself because I don't think I can take a real heartbreak. Now don't get me wrong, I have also seen, read, heard and experienced the notion called love in different forms and it can be a beautiful thing between two people..sigh! I just don't think its for me...I don't even know why I wrote this post...oh well...

Have a fab week y'all
Hugs and Kisses
