I totally understand this feeling, the feeling of being in love with your thoughts on love. To think about what if must feel like to be that person, that one person that loves you for you, its easy to fall in love with that notion, that idea.
I've done it many times, thinking your in love and are not, or maybe we are? For who knows the paths of the heart but those who live within them? And since none of us but the Gods or creators live there, we will never know truly what lay within them, but only guess and assume.
So who are our neighbors to say we know not of love? That we are young and naiive?
The purest of love is that which is blissful and happy, not dark and brooding.
Continue to love the idea of love, and you will always have love with you, for without love we would be a sad sad and sorrowful world.
Peace
This is me, although Love is sometimes overrated. I think just knowing your loved, by someone, somewhere, is what its really all about. All the other stuff, is just added stuff. Peace
I totally love this awesome piece (and the idea of loving it too:) and I can realate to your every word. I'm occasionally laden with the sentiments you express in the poem above and I totally agree with you. It's amazing how you managed to harness these thoughts and carve them into simple words in free-verse. Thumbs up Abbie.
Grr... Being unable to know for sure if you're really in love is just annoying. But, I don't think I know what true love is yet. It's too far off in the future. And it's not a priority. BUT, I still loved this poem! I can totally relate. Like right now, I'm in a current situation somewhat like the one you've explained here. I don't know %100 how I feel. It's nagging me and it's really annoying! Gah!
The last stanza was really cute!
"I want someone to hold me,
Kiss my forehead and hold my hand,
Just because they are in love,
With being in love ... with me."
So cuuuuute!
Love can be so confusing. It'll all straighten out in the end, though. ;) (At least I would hope so!)
You grabbed my attention from the moment I read the title - of course I'd want to know what you figured out! (I get unbelievably curious and I just must know!) You've come to a good conclusion. :3
Ah, well, I'm ranting. Nice job! Keep on writing. :D
