Word

Dana (23 y/o girl, very wise) speaking to a crowd at open mic night.

Dana: Hmmpph.....What is love? Love is just this word that people can't pronounce so they misconstrue the meaning. Love is actually a five letter word but no one ever puts enough effort into it so they just stop at four. Love is this daunting thought that we never say out loud and that's why we don't know it. It's foreign! Love is the uncontrollable tremor in our left hand that we hide because we are embarrassed by it. Love is the diagnosis that we have never been waiting for. It is the breaking of a fingernail, at it's root, near the skin. Love is an arduous task that we put off because, well.....it's arduous. Love has no letters, it has numbers. Numbers are complicated! And Love is......
In the end, LOVE is just a feeling. A repetitive feeling! An unknown feeling! A feeling that.....changes without warning.
Love is just a feeling. And I have never felt the same thing twice!
