They say love of the driver of all miracles.
Of all things, I agree with this, as much as miracles don't happen to me.
As much as I want to, I can't show you what love is - you have to feel it for yourself, immerse yourself in the sea of devotion, find it in each other's eyes. Feel what it's like to be lost, completely, for the first time, in someone's words, someone's gaze. It is the key to adulthood, though many might refute - but it is past for me and I can tell you with utmost confidence that this is the truth and nothing but it. This unknown, this mystery, leaves for you to unfold, discover. Take something ugly and useless and mould it, like plasticine, into something that will eventually carve out the shape of your heart, and stay forever in his.
If I were Portia, I would not preach about mercy::
The quality of love is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Tis mightiest in the mightiest. It becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings,
But love is above this sceptered sway.
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings.
When love seasons anything else.
Hearts of kings indeed.
It's a wretch, this little thing.
It's the way you look into his (male readers please I beg you change all hims to her) eyes and understand everything about those eyes that makes you fall head over heels for him in a matter of days, minutes, accidental glances, him being the shiniest penny int he piggy bank of your heart. It's about being a part of him that will never be taken away, just like how his heart can never be removed from his body. The way in the pictures where it's only the two of you, but you're looking at each other and not the camera. It's that same feeling you get when you catch his gaze from across a room in the middle of a song, mouthing the words to the chorus, to the line that eventually leads you to say, "That's when I love you,"
Feel the bliss when you lie beneath the trees endless afternoons, taking in the scents of the pine and the blossoms, savouring every moment of your time. Light the glow that envelops you in Cupid's warmth, that makes you look like you're shining in the dark. Listen to that voice in your head that tells you what to do, instead of thinking over it for so many nights and not coming to a decision. Seek that aura anyone can spot distances away, distances the smell of love can overcome. Find that spot between his heart and his neck that seems to complete two indivduals into a whole that always fits, like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle that puts together one picture. Find that happiness that you deserve, much more than what you have now - when you have nothing at all.
It's a challenge, one that once you take up can never end. It's no form of insurance, with no guarantees of a return, just like how it is a race you don't compete in; but rather, a race that you never finish yet through the way keeping yourself alive, invigorated, and most of all, blessed. A race whose only opponent is your hard, cold heart that has yearned for someone to turn on the heater for so many years, with triumph so much further away than what it seems to be. There's no telling what the end is, whether you're going to end up in a pigsty or a castle, but nobody ends up to be like Cinderella all the time.
You might not understand, but you will. When you finally feel it. It's like a rubber band, it stretches your limits, and when it snaps, you finally get it. And the pieces will be with you forever.
The point is missed. The point is, love is the key to a car, the way a license isn't. It is the key to a car that you will remember forever, a roadtrip that you will forever hold close. Yet forever might not last, but nothing does. Forever might be tomorrow, it might be tonight, it might be this moment. But always, always remember - that no matter what it is, treasure every single moment you feel your heart beating, cherish every single breath you take, look forward to every single minute you are able to love, and that's just about the only achievement you can accomplish in this life.
So what do you think?
