Inhale
Heart cheering
Chest uplifting
Light breathing
Eyes seeing
Mind wandering
Spirit freeing
I am in perfect timing
A man could be surrounded with a thousand beautiful things around
But only recognizes the beauty of his only love
A woman could blabber every word she wants in ceaseless
But her man is the only one that could make her speechless
A father may have found company with his co-worker
But will never forget to be a daddy to his daughter
A mother may be busy with the dishes
But never forgets to take care of her babies
A brother might be nervous with his exams and quizzes
But always brave to get you away from cockroaches
We see love everywhere
Maybe in parks, in churches, in aisles
Maybe love is there for every smile
For every laugh, and for every cry
Love is seen at every place
Never hidden, always in pace
And as we grow, we meet different people
They might make us change, or we might make them change
Some days you feel like you’ve been poured in heavy rain
And then you meet someone who brings you umbrella and washes out your pain
Love is present at all junctures
Never late, never early, always on time
Love is always there
Just open your eyes
And let them see how it shines
Love is the sun that doesn’t just give light
But also the reason why we see everything bright
I can see love in the hands of a child feeding his sick grandmother
In the arms of a mother carrying her crying baby in cover
Her voice sang songs of lullaby, until she stops to cry
Her touch softens the rough weep, until she starts to sleep
I can see love in the feet of a friend, who joins your silliness in no end
Love is in the deep breaths of relatives after successful operations
Love is in the screams after winning competitions
Love is in perfect destinations
And maybe love is in between pages
Hidden in phrases, filling the spaces
Maybe love is seen in right words
In almost all situations, in what ifs
Maybe love is in what could’ve been-s
Maybe love is when you’re forgiven
Love is in you
Once you recognize it, it reaches people
Like a contagious smile of a little kid
Reaching the ends, uncovering a seed
Sleep early, drink tea
Break from stress; get yourself away from any mess
Write journals, create paintings
Smile, laugh
Listen to music
Love yourself
You see, we define love the way we experience it
And just as how beautiful it looks at us
It’s also as beautiful when we give it back
But love also has its other side
You will get hurt
When it seems to be not right
We take back the words we once held tight
And then it falls
It falls back again to the dark post
We become afraid when we are betrayed
The things we once believed to be true
Will slowly vanish like dew
Exhale
Heart thumping
Chest shaking
Heavy breathing
Eyes closing
Mind hiding
Spirit weakening
I am lost
But love always comes back
Like the sun’s rays
Beaming radiance across
From a dark, gloomy night
It comes back with lustering light
Then love is here again
