It's butterflies in your belly, but slightly heavier,
A silent flutter, a gentle throb, a sense so peculiar.
If love were a number, it'd be an odd one,
Why?
Divided, it's never clean, there's always something left, a reminder here.
Like an echo that lingers, a ghost unseen,
A part of you left in spaces you've been.
Why do we squeeze it into one word - "love"?
When it's a myriad, a myriad of complex emotions, the opposite of cold.
Isn't it giving myself to you, sharing my soul,
But when you left, I felt strangely whole.
Why call it a "break-up" then, if I'm still intact?
Am I too cold, or is it love that I lack?
If love was a color, it wouldn't be red,
Too visible, too blatant, too quickly read.
Neither would it be blue, cool as a breeze,
Love is a flame, not meant to freeze.
Yellow, too simple, green, too wide,
A color to match love's turbulent tide?
Orange, perhaps, a blend of two extremes,
A concoction of passion, and tranquil dreams.
A fusion of hues in a world gone grey,
Isn't that what love's like, at end of day?
I may not know love, as some do claim,
Yet in its mystery, I find no shame.
But why box love in numbers or colors,
When it's free, bright, and wild, unlike any other?
So here's to love, odd and orange - undefinable,
An emotion so vast, so unconfined - undeniable.
A force that surprises, disrupts and reforms - unexplainable
In the end, there is only one word that can explain love - Love.
You know,
We imagine what our perfect world would look like
That dream in fantasy land
Then we remind ourselves that it is not just fantasy and there’s a chance it becomes real
In real life, we find something
Not quite what we dreamt of
But a good semblance of it
So we hold it with our dear lives
Because it is the closest thing we’ve seen to our dreams
And scared that this is the closest we will ever get
Or because we hope it becomes what we dream of
So we fight for it.
Or maybe, we should just let it all go and hope our dream manifests perfectly in real life.
