Love...

What is love? Why is it so beautiful yet painful at the same time? Why is it so hard to be said with your lips when your heart is already screaming it out loud? Why is love so complicated yet addicting at the same time?

Love is powerful. It can change us to be better or worse, even though the direction of change is in the hand of our very own. It has a big contribution in the continuity of our life, affecting the decision to keep living on or to just stop breathing. It is so scary yet it is also the source of our joy.

Nobody can live without love. It is as if love is the most important element found in the air that we breath in, which is the very reason why so many people die when love leaves them. It is because when love walks away from us, it takes our life along.

That is why even though love hurts, people still choose to bear the pain, so they can continue on living.
