Mountain of Love

A first year university student pursuing his undergrad as a bio major.

I will never understand love

It's something that I can't wrap my head around 

Love feels like climbing a mountain, even though I've never climbed one

I would imagine how it would feel like

You start at the bottom, the base of the mountain

This mountain is huge and terrifying

Makes you not want to even climb it

But something inside you tells you, you can do it and you want to do it

So with a pounding heart and a sick stomach you start

You're not used to it and it hurts your hands and everything feels heavier

The fear of falling down, and it makes you think if I stop now the fall is not too bad I'll live

But this mountain is making you feel better about yourself

The higher you climb the more you want to get to the top and name this mountain yours

However, the higher you go the bigger the fall

The harder the recovery

However you continue to climb and you get comfortable

then you lose your footing and fall

and you fall fast and when you hit the ground

you wonder "why did I even climb this mountain"

Well you climbed it because it was your goal

You felt good climbing it

It was something you enjoyed doing but you got comfortable and didn't give

the mountain the care it needed to climb

So you fell and you're hurting all over

You feel like your life is over

This mountain defeated you and it still stands

This is how love feels like

It completely destroys you mentally and physically

Why do people still climb those mountains if they will get hurt

It takes a lot of experience to reach the top

I guess for people my age we don't have that experience and we keep falling

Hoping one day that we can finally climb that mountain and name it mine

Until then, Let's keep climbing until we do.
