Some says Love finds you

And others say you find Love;

Which one is it?

'

Love is when you can find it

In all those smiles you receive from strangers

'

Love is when you can see a pair of eyes that light up

On seeing you

'

Love is when you can find happiness

In all the good and bad

'

Love is when you feel accepted

Even when you are not

Knowing you are here in the first place

Because of your Creator

'

Love is when you can find taste

In sadness

For sadness always follows happiness

And vice-versa

'

Love is when you can act care free like a child

And be a mature adult in the next moment

'

Love is when you think the honey bees are humming

And not buzzing

'

Love is when you find life in weeds

And that they are valuable

As much as you

In the essence of life

'

Love is when you can bear pain

While smiling through it

Confident enough to save the whole world

If it takes

'

Love is when you can find beauty

In anything not so pleasing to the eyes

Finding a reason for its outstanding nature

And congratulating yourself for being the first to see it

'

Love is when you can love yourself

As you shower others with love

Transient or everlasting

Without expecting anything in return

'

For love is never about selfishness

But selflessness

'

Love can be spiritual

Love can be sacrilegious

Lust can be mistaken for love

Love might find you

Or you can find love

'

These are passing thoughts you hear or see

'

But

Love truly comes to those

Who can find love for them

In all that they love

'

And love is never easy to find

Until or unless

You have a rough sketch about the beauty

That hems you in.
