Have You Ever Been In Love

Have you ever been in love? How to even answer that question Those who have been in love look crazy to the ones who have not Where you don't even know why you love the person your soul just won't stop thinking about You try everything to get away from them, so you don't think about them Because it's just too painful Yet something appears and you can't help but to picture them It sounds like an obsession And you ask yourself are you sick Why does this person mean so much to me Especially when I mean so little to them Does it ever go away I hope so I wish you could just detach yourself from what the soul wants What it needs Sure you can move on with your life and start over but memories just exist and you can't stop it when a memory just passes by But walking through that pain is the best way to get through it Honoring it for what it is Not suppressing and coping Easier said than done At times I think some are addicted to that pain How do you know if you are in love Is it ones looks Is it ones mind Is it ones belongings Is it ones title Is it ones talents Love has never been described accurately Just descibed the best way that someone knew how to articulate and write Many have spent lifetimes trying to explain love Where others could just feel it in their souls But that’s just it Love is a undescrible phenomenon It only has ever been able to be felt not explained And if you dont know oneself you will never know So I ask you Is your soul awake Is your heart open Is your mind balanced enough to receive it when it shows Love is suppose to recongize love, so I thought But when you are hindered When you are guarded When you are scared When you do not trust When you don't know what unconditional love feels like You will never be able to recognize love for what it is And before you know it, if you aren't careful It will just vanish Disappear Never to be seen again Sure you will find a version of what you felt, from someone else But will that version last So many seperations, from those who thought they knew love But they didn't even know themselves, so how could they know love It will never quite feel the same And ultimately you will be alone Sometimes you will get a second chance And sometimes you only get one So, I ask you have you ever been in love?
