Easy to Say, Difficult to Explain

            Love, a simple word which tickles our minds when hear about it. Love issomething intriguing when our friends talk about it. What we think about love is a very strange thing, hard to explain, and difficult to understand. But what really is love anyway? They say that we can only define love when we have gotten into it. Love is like measles, as what Jerome K. Jerome says, we will all go through it. Have you ever been in love?

            What is the thing that makes us love someone? Is it because of their looks? Is it because of their style? If you would to ask me I would love someone because of what he is. Not because of what he has or what he can do. There will be the time when he would could not the things he could do before. There will be a time when he will no longer possess the looks he has before. If I really love that someone, no matter what happens to him I would love him. Maybe I liked something that he can do that makes me attracted to him, but you see, like is different from love.

                        Love is a very strange disease. Once you are affected by it, it is very difficult to get out of its affection. What I said is very difficult but never impossible. Love is the noblest frailty of the mind. Yes, it is a weakness. One proof is when your special someone goes near and you felt your legs tremble, your hands become cold and you could not think cleverly, thus you felt weak. Yet a weakness, but it is the noblest of all weakness. They say that love is blind. Love conquers all. Love knows no boundaries. Love is in the air. But for me the best metaphor is this. Love is when he adores your big feet. I am not talking about the literal meaning where your loved one will actually adore your feet. The point is, when you’re in love, you do not care about someone’s abnormalities or disabilities. I you really love him then, you would like anything about him. You will love all the things he does. Even the things he does are not good enough you would still appreciate it no matter what. Your loved one is your happiness. Time lies when you’re happy. Love makes time pass. Love really is easy to say yet it is very difficult to explain.

                        I have experienced to be in love. Love for God, love for my family and of course love for somebody who is special are the loves I have felt. She who has never loved has never lived, as what John Gay said. I think what I experienced is not the romantic love they say but it is that what you call puppy love, in teenagers. There is this boy whom I always think of before. This line may be cheesy but whenever he is near I can feel my heart pump very quick and I can hear the beat very loud. Whenever he is near I don’t know what to do. I always go to this part of me where I can’t think wisely. My mind feels blank. The world stops. I always want him close. I want him to stay beside me. His name always stays in my mind. The feeling always stay that way whenever he goes near. The mood stays awkward for me but never in him because he does not know what I feel. I thought that what I am feeling is just normal because we were friends. We were friends and it is what we should be. I don’t want to ruin our friendship. The sense is he is very near yet very far.

                         Love isn’t finding someone you can live with. It is finding someone you can’t live without. If you would have a chance to choose that someone you can’t live without, what will he possess? Me, I will choose somebody who will love me in all means. I will choose someone who will be patient being with me and will not complain because he loves me too. I will choose someone who is loyal to me and honest in all times. I don’t care if he is not rich as long as he will stay beside me all throughout I will choose him. I will choose somebody who is willing to defend me at all times. He who is willing to comfort me during problem strikes. He who cares for me and tries his best in all the things he will do. I also want someone brave and courageous. He who is not into the things that will make me happy but to the things that are the best for me is someone I would choose. Being intelligent, responsible and industrious is a bonus. Good looking is alright but good mannered is the best. Being a gentleman will also do.

                        Being in love is not a problem but always make sure not to give all. When you give your heart to someone always leave a stock or yourself. We will never know when someone is serious to us. A man saying he loves you is a very common scene, but someone who cannot explain why he loves you only occurs once in a million. Love is very easy to say, but, very difficult to explain.
