What is Love?
Is love an emotion or a choice? Is love a feeling or a reaction? Is love something on the surface or does it run deeper? A few weeks ago, I made what very well may be the biggest mistake of my life. You see, I was engaged to be married. My fiancée (the mother of my youngest son) and I had a huge argument which ended badly. I was so mad that I retrieved all of my belongings from her home and moved out. She begged me to stay, but I was blinded, hell-bent on leaving. That was 4 weeks ago. Ever since, I have been thinking of the look on her face, the look in her eyes, the hurt I caused the pain I caused. That look has haunted my mind. My solitude has allowed me to really look inside myself, look inside my soul and that’s when I found what love really is. You see, I thought I knew what love was, but I now know what love is really all about. Love is not any one thing; it is all of the above. Love is a choice and an emotion, it’s a feeling and a reaction, and it runs deep and shows on the surface. Love is embracing the good times and withstanding the turbulent times, love gives and never takes. Love, is unconditional. I took her love for granted and so in the end, I suffer. She will always be deep inside of my heart. They say time heals all wounds, but I submit to you that time can never heal real true love. Love is the strongest thing on earth; it’s stronger than death itself. I can never take back the hurt I cause, the pain I caused (but if I could go back in time, I would never have left.) I can only hope and pray that the love inside of her will allow her to trust me again, to love me again.
