"Love... defined"

@Uootem

Love is one thing when it is present... another when it is gone.
immeasurable joy and warmth.... unfathomable sadness and coldness.
walking to the far corners of the world... waiting to jump from the edge of the earth.
discovering the end of the rainbow and bringing back the pot of gold...
discovering just how elusive the rainbow's treasure can be.

building dreams together... throwing away your dreams
wishing it to last forever... waiting for wishes to come true again.
knowing exactly what to say and when to say it...
being at a loss for the right words and no time left to say them if you knew.

needing to saying nothing at all... needing to learn to live with the silence.
a way to the gates of heaven... hell on earth.
reaching for the moon and touching the stars...
moonlight hurting your eyes through a mist of tears.

devoting every part of you... missing an important part of you.
kissing and embracing... missing the taste and touch.
happier than you ever thought you could ever be...
remembering happiness as something far away.

holding on in passion... letting go with pain,
begging them to stay... begging them to return someday.
the inability, though you try your hardest, to not love them at all.
Love is one thing when it is present... another when it is gone.
