Have you ever fallen in love?
most people think they have
they think its those butterflies in your stomach
or the way your legs turn to jelly when you see them
some think its that inner voice saying, "he's the one", "she's the one."
others think its waking up at 2am with a smile on your face thinking about that one person
But actually, love is like an inferno of unearthly brilliance
love is like a fever that ravages you
it hurtles through your veins faster than your blood
it'll make you feel like melting mountains
or drinking the sea dry
Have you ever fallen out of love?
most people think its simply not caring anymore
you don't feel the butterflies you once felt
some think its like grief
losing your love is like losing a part of you
others think it is waking up at 2am thinking about how things could have been better
But actually, falling out of love feels like your body is fighting a disease
its a lot like feeling the ground roll off from beneath your feet
its like quicksand that can drag you to dark dark places
its like a falling star hurtling through the dark sky until its a cold cold metal in some crater
One day, you'll see that person that once made stars shine in your eyes
that once made you feel like a god
you'll see them with another person and you'll tell yourself you don't love them anymore
but you cant
love is eternal
love has no expiry date
So, be careful child
Be careful what you do with love
Roses are red
But they draw blood
~Ridhwan.
