what defines love?
is it a feeling? is it more?
what makes someone fall in love?
what makes people hurt those who love them?
everyone has their own definition of love
just because you love someone doesn't mean they love you back.
love hurts
it stabs you in the back.
it makes you cry more times than you can count.
love tears away your innocence.
love is toxic and controlling, love is hurtful
it leaves a permanent mark behind on what once was
like thorns on a rose.
and eventually, you build a wall.
a fence.
you put your guard up so you don't get hurt.
so you don't feel that pain again that once was
but at least once in your life, someone tears down the fence to your garden
they don't just see your thorns, they see your flowers too
they cherish them, and help them grow
they learn all the details and the differences of each of your petals
and they don't mind the thorns along the way
they know the pain is temporary
because, without the rain, there would be no flowers
and this person will be willing to sit with you
in the cold and pouring rain
and eventually, they'll tear down that fence
and no more fence, means no more hurt
no more pain, no more thorns. just love...true love
true love is beautiful
true love is patient
true love is kind
true love is vulnerable
true love is unconditional
true love is more than a feeling.
everyone has their own definition of love.
...what's yours?

"everyone has their own definition of love... what's yours?" challenge accepted
love imo is a state of the mind or being where we feel attraction towards a "special" person who fits our criteria and is deemed as our "ideal one"
the feeling steems from a shared passion (friendship), familiar affection (family or relatives) or respect amd care among two persons (romantic partners)
in the romantic case, it is a spiritual feeling that declares your step up in your views of someone
maybe they love the same stuff as you, share a common pain or idea or really... is a missing part of your incomplete soul
it is the attraction between two souls who want to unite into one, symbolizing sacrifice of lustful needs in exchange for eternal warmth and peace
but love isn't always guaranteed... or real
those cases are either driven by ego or lust
they're nothing more than facades of inpure ideas and needs who market themselves as attraction
it can hurt you... but it can repair you
it determines you to protect it, to fight for it
because it's what keeps your heart beating
so, love is a complex idea that unity between two souls is possible, motivated by a shared feeling of respect and admiration
and it can be either the worst thing you'll experience
or the thing that will repair you
