love.
such a short word, and it encapsulates so much. so many things, so many feelings, so many thoughts...
and if i said love is like the rain that washes the sky clear after darkened clouds have crowded it, would you believe me? it clears the heart and the mind. it brings with it peace. love is not just the rainbow that appears after the rain; that is only the by-product...love is the rain that creates the rainbow.
love as security...as knowing that somewhere someone accepts you as you are, cherishes you and longs to spend time with you. it can lift a person up...it can brighten hearts shrouded in despair.
at the very core, we all long to be loved for who we are. not what we have to offer...or to give. but who we are. simply that. it's comforting to know that when we get back, there's someone to talk to, to support, to listen to as well.
and to create something bigger, better and more beautiful to give back to this world together with that special someone. something we cannot create on our own. that synergy...the force...
tonight has been a night for poetry/prose poem writing...it feels just right thanks to the rain and the gentle breeze...:) the sort of night where one sits back, listens to easy favourites and writes away.

"...Love is like the rain that washes the sky clear after darkened clouds have crowded it, would you believe me"
Well, I do believe you with the qualification that you are talking about love in the broader sense. But it seems that you were talking about it in the narrower sense as you mentioned the "special someone". In this case, then I do not agree with you totally. This is because there are always 2 sides of a coin. It might bring you peace, happiness and may be the rainbow. But it also might hurts you so deeply till the bottom of your heart that you need so much time to mend the hole. It might brings you troubles and dilemmas that you can't possibly resolve. During the 'dark period' it gives you so much pressure that you just feel that the happier times seem so fragile, gone just like that, as if it's mere memories that will only hurt you when you recall it.
I do agree with all your descriptions on love. But it happens only when there's no trouble between you two.
To me, the only eternal love is family love. They will always welcome you back home when you had troubles outside or problem in your marriage. They accept you as what you are. It is comforting to know that they will not look at you at some discriminative way when you fell down in certain aspects of your life.
Well, I wish to clarify that I don't mean to sound so negative in 'love' that you mentioned. I do believe there are much more wonderful things that you couldn't possibly be able to feel it unless you find the other half. I heard a quote once saying that you will never be able to experience the true love unless you give all you have and willing to love without reservations. This is true in some way but very hard to do it, as it's a man's nature that he or she wants to protect his or herself from hurt.
