On Love

Love is not something you can grow if it does not already exist;

It is not something you can buy or manufacture;

It is not something you can carefully curate or design.

Love is a feeling deep in your soul,

One that you cannot describe or fully understand.

It is the most powerful thing you can ever feel,

And that in itself can make you feel powerless.

To lose love is almost an unfathomable destruction,

Yet a life without love is not worth living at all.

– R. Meskill
