LOVE

Love is a beautiful thing. Love they say is what makes the world go round. Love is what I see been passed around on daily infact minute basis between everyone.
But then, I don't feel love. I don't seem to receive my share of love. It looks to me like I stand outside the circle of love.
You know, my friends tell me they love me all the time and I say it back all the time but it feels empty. It feels like it's just words been passed around us for communication's sake, it feels like the feather of a chicken, weightless. It feels like fake gold, worthless.
But come to think of it, maybe it's because I have never been in love. Maybe it's because when I tend to think I am loved, I find a reason to think otherwise. Maybe because, love is just a state of the mind. Or maybe it's because I have found a reason to live but not a reason to love. Or maybe just maybe, Cupid's arrow is yet to hit it's target.
But now, just now, I have found love. I have come to know the true meaning of love. I have come to understand that it's not just in the words, it's in the heart. I have come to the understanding that with love, I can go through life's challenges with a broad smile on my face. I have come to realize that even when those I love and those I think love me let me down, I will always find love in some other place.
Love flows through our bloodstream. Love is not approved in the words, it's in the heart.
