Love is a feeling
Hard to grasp
Not easy to understand
And difficult to explain.
Love is being hurt
Countless times
But each time
Giving in and forgiving.
Love is being sad
When the other is unhappy
Yet pretending you are not
And trying to cheer him/her.
Love is to be truthful
To immerse in it totally
Every bit of your soul
Tasting the bitter sweet memories it gives.
Love is to realize
What the other is,
The bad and good,
And love him/her for all of it.
Love is such that
Though he/she has faults, you accept
And make attempts
To change the endless flaws you seem to have.
And lastly,
Love cannot be explained
It’s pure chemistry,
Not based scientifically
It’s an emotion so strong
You can’t say "no" to it.
Disregard differences,
Be it character, behavior
Intelligence or religion.
Cherish it, this precious affection
No one else can experience,
Because,
only for the both of you,
It exists.
