Love and New York

A very popular line from a song i love so much from jay z and alicia keys " empire state of mind"

It goes like this " in new york -These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you "  .  

A very powerful  line that has inspired a great love for the city of NEW YORK and the feeling it ignites in you  , new york is a dream we all want to experience in our life . Today i am not writing about the city but the feeling it lights up in you and i  , the feeling if natural ecstasy  LOVE .

This brings up the question we have asked tirelessly  and there is no major answer to it . The question that seeks an answer.  What is the meaning of love and what is love ? 

Read on , i have a very close answer! 

Describing the feeling of being in love is at least

easier than describing than what love is.

But just like no two loves are similar, neither can be

the feeling of being in love.

Here's my attempt at a creatively written description:

For some, it grows and ebbs like the tide ; while for

others it comes in like a storm, leaving only

destruction in the wake. It could warm you in its

embrace or burn you with its bitterness.

You never even know what brings forth that feeling,

that realization that you are in love, that you found

the piece that fit into the puzzle of your life.

For some, it is when they lie next to someone and

brush the hair falling on their lover's face, they come

to the realization that they are in that moment, smitten.

For someone else, it is weakness and vulnerability

and telling what couldn't be told.

It could be a glance of acceptance, the murmured

longings of the wishes of someone else's heart, or a

meal cooked together after a hard day's work.

It could be a knock on your door, a speeding of your

heart, a desire to give all.

It could be feeling vulnerable, feeling naked, actually

being naked.

It could be like a song on repeat or a shuffling till you

get what you ever want.

It could be scary-exciting like a thunderstorm or

sticky and overbearing like the feeling after a humid

rain shower.

It is holding on, when all has been lost.

Falling in love is sneaky. Suddenly, you have what the

whole world wants.

It is like having the world in your arms and still feeling

that you never have everything you want.

It's irritating because it makes you dependent And

you, you who pride yourself on individuality, fall around to change yourself, to be less volatile.

It is scary . what if what you love , doesn't love you back? 

Well wait for part 2 !
