In Light of Love

Is it merely a thing that can illicit such emotion that can bring a man to his knees in despair or lift him off the ground in joy? It can bring both pain and pleasure and when taken advantage of is one of the worst mistakes a person can make. It can only be described by those who have experienced it and understood by those who have felt it. It creates a bond so strong that many die never have loosening their grip on it. Some have the pleasure of being in it as they read this and others the hope of what it brings. Some have felt it's unbelievably bitter sting that can leave scars deeper than the imagination ever allowed and others sheer joy from something as simple as look from the one they love. How is it that such an experience can bring about such opposite effects? I don't think anyone can quite give an answer, but I do feel that no matter the consequence, hard pursuit in spite of failure is beyond worth even the potential that it holds. Love, so intricate and delicate, yet bold and unbreakable, impossible to understand, yet irresistibly easy to feel. When treated with care, love can bring us through anything and will withstand the test they call time. A year ago today I wrote quite oppositely of love and February 14th, but I guess a year has given me time to become just a little more wise. I wish the best to all that read this, in love or not, searching or not. Whether it be a significant other or someone you barely know, take the time today to realize what love is and allow yourself to be aware of it. Happy Valentines Day.
