Love

Love is a very strange feeling. It is extremely confusing and indefinite. It makes your emotions the mental equivalent of a tornado that's decimated a small town. 

Some people love in a nice way. In a simple way. In an easy way. When those people lose someone they love, they mourn, but eventually they move on.

But others, don't love in a nice way. It's not soft or wholesome. It fills up so completely that sometimes it becomes difficult to breathe. It's not healthy. It's not right. It's a love that involves the whole goddamn soul. When they lose their love, they would raze the fucking world to the ground. They'd ruin it, just for existing when their love didn't. 

Now, this is the kind of love they talk about in history books, the ones that started wars. The reason empires rise and fall. The connection that burns so hot that it isn't a gentle flame. It's an inferno that could ignite the whole world. 

Love comes into your life like a bolt from the blue. It shocks you awake and changes everything that you had planned. Electricity is what makes the heartbeat and that's what it is. The pulse in your blood, the light in the darkness, the jolt you need to stop being so afraid. 

It makes your heart ache with happiness. It makes all the pain and suffering worthwhile. It becomes the only good thing in a world of darkness. It gives you hope when you have none. It makes you cling to life when you are pushed beyond endurance. It keeps you alive until you are strong enough to fight your way free.

And the best part is you could find this love anywhere. There's no one place you'll find it. No one person. It's almost like an opportunity that comes knocking, you can take it or not. It's a risk. Whether you wanna take it or not is up to you. But nothing in life is ever easy. 

So take the bait.

Risk it all.

After all 'The course of true love never did run smooth.'

With all the love in the world

Yours truly,

Butterfly
