(love is) intangible

written on December 12, 2021

love, an emotion 

the perfect mix of chemical in our minds

that got your heart racing 

the moment a new face enters a coffee shop 

or board your usual subway train on a particular day

just when you least expect it 

love, an emotion 

something we feel but no eyes could see

love, a feeling we could grasp and understand its meaning

yet, you can’t hold it in your hands 

love, sometimes lasts forever 

“till death do us part”

and sometimes long enough to teach us what we need to learn 

it is something you can’t stop from fading away or leaving

love, ones that lead to heartbreak or grief

are the greatest teachers

because it goes to show that love has no end 

it transcends beyond time and distance

even when one no longer exists on the face of the Earth

love, there’s no way to measure the amount 

yet, some question “how much do you love me?” 

or “why did you fall in love with me?” 

i don’t think we are searching for a reason 

i think we search for assurance

the thought of having someone to catch you when you fall 

a shoulder to cry on and the listening ears for your worries 

the act of “falling in love” may be accidental, but choosing to stay is entirely opposite 

i mean why else would people fall in love when they know the chances of getting hurt? 

because you just do. you just fall in love. knowing the chances of getting hurt. 

love, comes with their own baggage 

of flaws and scars they wished no one would know 

but love also meant to be vulnerable 

and to embrace all that you are

it’s a matter of finding those who love you enough to help you unpack

love, is still love 

even if it means you had to let them go 

even if it means to live separate lives

like parallel lines that will never cross again 

be it as friends or strangers
