Love
There was something in the air today...Some tingling sensation we all felt, but couldn't explain...
Something we call Love.
It's Valentine's Day today. Also known as Friendship Day for the lonely, in essence, me. Also known in some cultures as Monday. We must all thank dear old St. Valentine for such a special day, and special it is, for it is but a celebration of the most powerful emotion of all, Love.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
I will not get preachy for those of you who have something against people proclaiming the greatness of God. God is a God of love. That, in my opinion, is what makes him great. Go figure.
"Ah, Spring, when a young man's fancy lightly turn to thoughts of love."
-- Shakespeare
And right he is. In fact i do dare say it happens not only in Spring. Love is evergreen.
But, what exactly is this most powerful emotion of all, this thing we call love? What is this, that can render the strongest man helpless? What is this, that defies all embarrassment? What is this, that stands unfaltering in the face of adversity? All i can tell you is that love is, well, love. there is just no better way to describe it.
There is a saying, that the world moves for love. It is a hopeless romantic. Deep down inside we all are. Surely the things we will do for love is enough testament. For those who have a special someone, you may know this. For those who have not a clue as to what i am saying, i beg your pardon. i'm just another raving lovelorn lunatic who will ramble on about lovey-dovey stuff, enough to make even Bambi sick.
They say you just know when you're in love. I've never felt it before, but hey, i'm not going to cry over it. When i do find true love, she will scatter my thoughts like the stars at night. She will make me stumble wherever she is, for my eyes will be drawn to her like iron is to magnet. When she speaks i will hear angels singing, and when she walks all grace will be with her, and when she smiles i can touch the heavens. When i look into her eyes i will see eternity. When i hold her hand i will know happiness. When i am with her i will not be myself. She will be perfection to me. And i promise, she will be loved.
O-kay. I don't know what made me write that but yes, that is my true love. And someday, i believe it will come true.
Because the world moves for love.
