Love

Love - a simple four letter word that perhaps has the greatest yet undefinable meaning in the dictionary of life. We spend most of our lives trying to find Love - within our environment, within others, and within ourselves. Most of us can barely define Love yet we continue to seek for it, to hold onto it, to never let it go as if our lives depend on it.

We all understand that the same Love that brings happiness into our lives can also bring sadness along with it. Even when that Love becomes unfamiliar, we hold on hoping that one day it will return to its former self. We hold on so tight that the palms of our hands start to hurt, the tears in our eyes start to flow, and the pain in our hearts ceases to stop. Yet we continue to hope, wish, and wait.

We hold onto Love because we know it to be something beautiful as roses, sweet as kisses, and warm as tight embraces. We tend to believe that the only way to love is to hold onto it with all our strengths. We try to solve every problem that comes in the way, even the ones with no viable solutions, only to find that we end up with more tears and more scars.

Perhaps, we need to find another way to love that will allow our hands to be free, our tears to stop flowing, and our hearts to stop hurting. Perhaps we can still find Love by loving enough to be able to let that Love free in search for its own Love. Perhaps then will we truly find the meaning of Love...
