What is love?

So, what is love?

how would we define,

something so natural yet a mystery,

to the unexprienced and naive.

For some, love is a feeling,

that provides warmth and care,

for others, it's an emotion,

a deeper connection that heart shares.

For many, it's an attachment,

that brings a sense of belonging,

others view it as an attraction, 

be it physical or intellectual longings.

Some find it in closeness of friendship,

a shared bond of trust and respect,

then there's people for whom it's pure lust,

a primal urge to possess and be possessed. 

Is it the source of our desires,

when we seek someone to connect, 

or our admiration and appreciations,

to make sacrifices for their happiness.

No matter how we define it,

it's a strong influencing force,

making us feel happy, sad, angry, 

by affecting our thoughts and actions.

With all these yearnings,

the excitement and fantasizings, 

dreams of romancing in our imaginations,

and developing these unexplainable achings.

Even after so many arts, stories and songs,

love still remains a mystery,

we can't explain it or control it,

nor we can ignore or live without it.

So, what is love?

it's like everything and nothing,

having the answers to lot of our questions, 

but also is the source of most of our pain.
