For years, scientists and everyone alike have been trying to describe one word: love. It's a four-letter word like "Andy" or "Walt" or "Robin" or "Ross". Granted, every word I just listed is a name, a title to represent a human. I could've used other words like "slip", "blue", "frog", or "baby", but the point is we have made the word a title,more than we have made it just any other word. Love is a powerful word. What does it mean? Everyone seems to have their own definition. Some people believe it's a word that's sacred, a word that should only be used when you really mean it like "hate". Some believe it's a word you can throw around like "fuck" or "hate", but when you truly mean it, when you truly love someone, it's the most powerful word known in English. I can't vouch for other countries, but to me love is powerful.
The backwards of love spells "evol". Is love "evol" or "evil"? Some would say it is both because the first "evol" is just a mask for the true "evil", the true love.
Love can make you do terrible things, but love can also do some magnificent things. When you love someone, all that matters is that you love them deep down and will be true to them with all your heart. They can call you a "coward", a "traitor", or a "hero". It doesn't matter because you know the truth; you've felt it. Everyone deserves that kind of love, that kind of love that takes over, that makes you lose all control of your body. A love that sweeps through you like a full force gale. Sometimes this love is forbidden but sometimes it's allowed. Of course, anything forbidden tastes so much sweeter like Adam reaching for that forbidden fruit. Well, he's an idiot and so are you if you think that. It doesn't matter if your love is forbidden or allowed, when you truly love someone, all that matters is that you love them. All those classifications are just what others think of you and your love, not you. To you, all you feel is love.
But what is love? Love is whatever you believe it to be. Whatever feeling that takes over your entire body and makes you lose all control, that's love. That feeling that changed you from a little child to a grown adult, that's love. Whoever you believe you to be, that's love. And it remains love until you find something better, something that makes you feel more. Something that makes you truly believe Heaven or whatever for sure exists because you just got a taste of it. It may be that touch of a hand by someone who means the world to you and she knows it. She and you have always known it. It may be a glance on the subway, just an interest. It may be waiting for you at the end of the checkout line or in your arms at the hospital. It may be smiling at you as you leave for a bigger world: university, new school, new country, new home. It may be welcoming you back after a long journey. Whatever it is, you'll know when it's love. That's why LOVE is so hard to define but yet so easy to understand because everyone has a new definition for it. And when you find yours, keep it or share it because either way, love is always growing.
