Definition of Love

What is falling in love?1

It is light and darkness coalescing into one moment, that one single moment when I realise that out of the vast universe of souls, one would hurtle into my world like a shooting star, carrying with it that one single speck of stardust that would make my soul complete. It is that one moment when everything - who we were, what we were - faded into nothingness, until only two complete souls remain, teetering on hope and dreams and promises.2

What is love then?3

It is a feeling that cannot be described. The simplicity of the touches, the warmth of kisses exchanged, there is no words that can describe what I feel from simply being together with the person I love. Love is after all just a word, one simple word to describe the torrents of feelings rushing through my mind and heart. For centuries, bards have reflected and lamented the inadequacy of this word, it is what made men poets.4

So how is it like, being in love?5

It is an experience that I want to shout to the whole wide world, to let everyone know of my joy. Yet it is something so precious that I dare not speak of it to anyone, not even to the one I love. It is a secret that I keep locked deep within me, and then when all these emotions bubble up till my heart is about to explode, I will release it and watch it soar. Every one of us hopes for that one moment in time which makes life worth living, that one moment where all sorrow fails in comparison. Most spend eternity dreaming of such a moment. I have found mine.6

Author notes

Who am I? Hmm... a lost soul wondering through the wilderness and then was found and saved.

    This, I will steal Ayesha's words, is so passionate. I especially like how you said that you want to let the whole world know your joy, but it is also something that you musn't speak of. That line of contrast just hits me in such a powerful way.

    Thank you for taking the time to enter my contest.

    how very beautiful and passionate.
    loved it.
    your description is beautiful. Though love is something that cannot be described and it is the most hardest thing to find.

    This is really great. I love the way you took your feelings and turned them into a love manifesto. This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Great job, and good luck in the contest!
