We all want to fall in love. Why?Because that experience makes us feel completely alive,where every sense is heightened,and every emotion is magnified.Our everyday reality is shatteredand we are flying into the heavens.It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon,but that doesn't diminish its value,because we are left with memoriesthat we treasure for the rest of our lives.
- From the movie "The Mirror Has Two Faces" -(starring Barbara Streisand)
Love is one of the most interesting human emotions. It's most powerful, the most mysterious, the most desired, element in the human emotional psyche. Creationists and evolutionists would both agree that one of love's aims to keep two people together so that they can procreate and have offspring. But love runs deeper than just being with someone of the opposite sex and having offspring. It can be expressed to anyone and anything. It's the most transcedental of all human concepts, ideas,etc.
I guess you could say that I experienced Love. For the moments and times it lasted, I was happy. I felt alive, appreciated, adored, and special. I saw this person (this lady) as something special, like a rare gem in mine. Sure it had some rough edges (not many), but deep inside, it was pure and fine like refined Gold. Love always comes at a price. It's a emotional risk, it requires work and effort, and most of the time it requires time do develop. It's much like a hurricane.(Let's hope that my hurricane-love analogy here works)
It has to be the right season (Jun-Nov), the right temperature conditions (warm), and the right location (warm humid ocean, below the equator). All these things play a major factor in the development of a hurricane and so they apply the same for love. Love can be sustained in the right conditions; if not it will dissipate or rather it might become dominant. I'm not an expert and I don't claim to be one. But I know how I feel and I know that it can hurt very much when certain conditions are not satisfied. Does it mean that it's lost forever? I do not have the answer to that, but it seems that somehow or another if it's true, it will find a way. I just hope that it finds a way back to me. I can't say that one should avoid love alltogether, because it's a beautiful and fulfilling thing. And I'm not saying someone should pursue love just for the heck of it. I'm saying that sometimes Love just happens without a scdedule, without a timetable, without an agenda. Let it come to you. Don't force it.
"Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching."-Randall G Leighton

You should become a writer, you write well. And as for the description of love- I couldn't have said it better myself.
