Someone once told me that love
was the key to everything,
but at the time, I didn't understand it.
When I asked why I was told...

"It can't be taught,
but felt deeply in your heart,
Like abstract art, when the paints are all mixed up and are up to you
to find the meanest truth on every single drop.

Because Love is in everything
that surrounds you,
Is what makes you keep going
or what makes you give up,
Is what you are searching for
even though you don't know it,
and when you feel like
fighting no more,
find that feeling and hold on tightly,
because love is a powerful thing
just like the heart of a fire
burning brightly,
It's the most powerful feeling
Forgotten deep in your core."

But how can I?
I asked over and over again,
because deeply inside
I honestly don't know how to hold to a feeling that can break your heart and shred you apart like
a piece of paper...

His answer was simple and not complicated at all...

Love is you and me,
It's what makes us real,
because without it...
only the darkness would be unrevealed.

Look at it as a battlefield
where the unbroken will be forever
marked but protected by an
invisible shield,
and in the end, all that is left is that feeling of a victory unconcealed.

So my conclusion for this complex equation was simple and easy,
Love is light and bright
Is what keeps the darkest aside,
Because without it
Laughter would be gone,
Happiness would be forgotten.
And you and I would be forever erased just like the pencil marks on that piece of paper...
