My Own Miscommunications of the one Emotion Everyone Desires

A by Ashley

Love... There are so many definitions of that forsaken word, so many stories, and so many emotions, so much confusion for that one simple feeling..Yet, so many desire, so many want, and swear they need... I can't lecture you on what I think it means, because I know not, and it is what I want not.. I can't want what I have not tasted, to fool me into thinking such a ludicrous act exists..

How does a person know what they want, how do they know what they truly desire..? What would be the point of life, if one could obtain that which makes their heart ache? That which would make the tears stop, and make a person ultimately happy? I believe..that no such thing should exist, at least not that I've experienced.

I'm still not sure if I can grasp the concept, but I can think of the individual motives that one person might have that would convince a person of those standards. Simply the taunting delicsous smell that can make a heart race when the person in question is nowhere near. Maybe it's the beautiful deep eyes that look right into your soul, and understand every part of you as a being. It could be the warm sensational touch that lights your skin on fire at the slightest brush, or being within inches of them, and your breathe disappearing, your words lost, and your heart hurting, because you'll know that the time would soon have to end.. But I only want a few things..I want this yes.. I want my breathe taken away at the slightest brush of his lips, my heart in my throat when he touches me, and I want the pain in my heart when he's gone for even the shortest of time.. I want someone who could understand me, without a question asked, or is that too much to ask? Only time could tell..

Or maybe, just possibly, it's that one feeling, where you know that you can't be with anyone else, that you can't feel more for anyone else. Love is not blind, no. I believe that on some occasions, but not love. Not true breathe taking, heart pounding, giving my life for you in a second, love. No one's perfect..but maybe, it's realizing that a person isn't perfect, but accepting them, and loving them for it anyways..<br />But what can I say. I just smile and continue living my life, knowing this..thinking this, believing this. Such a contradictory world we all live in, but we live nonetheless.
