SoulMate

What is love to you? To me it is consistency. It is comfort. It is the warm sun beaming on bare shoulders and the chill of a late winter's night. It’s crisp. It’s calm. It's cotton candy. That is what love is to me. Now REAL love is quite different. It is a struggle. It is strength and though some say that love does not hurt… it does. Love is hurt, not physically but mentally and emotionally. It hurts. Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt? Have you ever missed someone so much that it hurt? That’s the hurt kind of hurt that I mean. Unintentional. Circumstantial. Situational. The hurt that stems from deep within,  rises and overwhelms your soul. The very thought of losing that person. The hurt that suffocates your heart when you imagine your life without that person. Love is a gentle beast. Love is the calm before the storm. It kidnaps our senses and holds our heart hostage while all the time making every thing new. There is nothing that you have experienced if it wasn't with that person. There is nothing that you care to experience without that person. You may have life but you didn't LIVE until your eyes were introduced to theirs.  Love breaks every barrier, travels any distance and encourages all hope. Love transforms... what is love to you?
