#MondayMusings: What is LOVE to you?

8.2.16 1 Comments

There are different types of love in this life... today I am musing about the one between two romantic partners.

It's  Valentines Day season, the day that Love is celebrated by most people around the world, and I am sure that I am not the only person asking this question... 

What is love really?

Is it how safe he makes you feel?

Or the soothing presence she walks around with?

Is it the sweet taste of her lips?

or the shiver his touch sends down your spine?

Is it the feeling of belonging? of knowing for certain that this one person will always have your back?

Is it this happiness that you bring into my life? or this rare form of friendship that you've accompanied me to experience?

To my younger self, Love is a communication between souls - a language that the physical cannot fully understand. 

It is predestined - divinely pre-written so that everything we go through and every lesson we learn from life is engineered towards making us better partners for each other. 

It means completion - you are the other half of my 50% and I am the other half of your 50% and it is the only way we can both be whole

And though I am finally growing up, dusting off some of my poetic definitions of love and making up more substantial  ones - including he should be kind, giving, caring, respectful, etc -  still have those moments were I wonder if this is how love should be looked at. Those moments, like today, where i wonder what love really is...

So i am posing the question to you guys and I want to search deep down for what Love really means to to you so that you can identify and appreciate your loved well this season.

Cheers
