Love
by Lauren
What is Love? To me, Love is having a connection
to someone, a silent understanding with
them. It’s feeling incomplete without that
person. It’s an aching desire to be with them
that sits in the back of your heart and rips at
your soul, especially when you know that you
can't be with them. When you see them being hurt,
you feel their pain in the depths of your soul,
it tears you apart inside, and it kills you
slowly to know that there is nothing you can do
about it. But it’s also that feeling you get when
you hear that person’s name, or see their face,
or hear their voice. When everything around you
is confusing and the world shuns you and you’re
surrounded by hate, Love is that person or thing
that you always turn to that somehow makes it all
right. That can restore you to yourself and fill
the hollow emptiness inside you.
To me, Love is Jonathan Davis and Korn. Jonathan
is the one I can turn to for understanding, He is
the one who I feel more connected with than I am
with my own best friend. I actually believe He
IS my best friend. He is the one who fills up the
emptiness inside me. His voice is the only voice
I
listen to, the only voice that soothes me with
its soft, innocent tone and restores me back to
myself. Seeing His sweet, adorable face when I
come home from school, and listening to Him
lay His soul out in front of me, is the only
thing that gets me through the day. No matter how
depressed I am, when I’m done listening to Korn,
things look brighter. Colors are lifted from
underneath the black and white world. There isn’t
anything or anyone in this entire world that can
make me feel the way Korn, especially Jonathan,
does. And for all these reasons and so many
more, I say that Korn and Jonathan Houseman “HIV”
Davis are my definitions of Love.
