Real Love


“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” ~Kahlil Gibran

I think as humans the one thing we all crave is love but we tend fall short of the reality of it. We think we know what it is. We like the idea of it but when it comes to experiencing it, we don’t get it. We watch movies that show how love should be and we fall prey to that version and not the version of it in your own life.

In my opinion, people mistake romance for love. Romance is feeling excited, nervous and giddy. Romance can be a lot of fun as long as we don’t make too much of it. I think that romance can lead into love but most of the times it is just leads into flirting and then fizzles. If we try to hold on or make it more than it is, we might find ourselves stuck in something that was never meant to be.

Love, real love is something that is felt. Love should feel good. There is peacefulness to it. It touches our soul and you know that the person was meant to be there in your life. Love fills us with light and comfort. Love does not expect anything. Not how the person looks, what they do or if there is anything permanent, like marriage, in the end. Love accepts and does not change. When you think of the person, you feel comfort. Love is not vindictive. Love can let go and be happy for the one they love if they find love with someone else.

Love awakens a part of us that was asleep and shows that we have love for ourselves. Love is not needy or lacking. It is just love. It makes us powerful and lets us know that we are, always have been and always will be made of love.
