love against the tide

“Love is the strongest force in the universe.” Can this statement be proven true? Does it approve of the unusual orientation? Does it contradict the unstoppable force against eux? Could love hold its ground when everything crumbles? Love lingers in the shadows, even when the light is hard to find. I was told to know that love is invisible, yet visible It pillages its way into your heart, leaving a bruise Yet you somehow hold the poise. It's a constant cycle, it never stops; it never stops; never changes It leads you to your soulmate after fracturing your heart. Once you meet the one, the void in your heart is ephemeral Love can be unrequited, surging you into a hole. Even when you give your oath Love is a statement yet to be known. I thought to myself, a nebulous thing(?) “Love is a haze seen in the woods that never disappears; Even when you hold your gaze” As I've learned to know the characteristics of love I dance to its rhythm, hoping it will fall my way.
