One word…
One word that seems so simple
one word where feelings are created in the soul
and manipulate their way to the mental
4 letters, with a complex combination and sequence
I say complex because most people see to think this word is one of the most difficult words to say
BUT
If we use words to express our abstract emotions
why is this one word so hard to use?
FOR EXAMPLE,
We use “sad” when we want to cry
Or “pissed” when anger lines approach our foreheads
But when that one person comes along
And steals the very breath you take
Just to exhale their emotions into your environment for you to inhale
Or, touch you in a way that makes your heart convulse and your skin clam up
Because that person gives you a nervous sweat you just can’t shake
Or when that person looks in your eyes
NO
Really looks in your eyes
And you connect with them on a level so deep that when they see the inner working of your soul you close your eyes abruptly b/c that feeling you felt is unfamiliar
Those feelings have the word “love” attached
BUT
When you’re so scared of letting “love” fully enter your being
That word seems taboo
Like you’re too good to feel something for another so genuine and authentic
So instead of acting on what’s real/
We go out and attach this word to the feelings that are only temporary
You said you love him cuz you “couldn’t hurt his feelings”
Or you said you loved her cuz it “felt so good”
Now you see?
Now that you’ve abused the word on superficial feelings
When the real thing come along, cat’s got your tongue and now the word is stuck
You see
If you would have been wise in the context of your word choice
You would have been ready to use “love” to describe those feelings that are blessings from God
In the form of what you would now name your soul mate
But now, your meaning of love is skewed and what you need to use it for…….
You wont…….
