“What Do People Want When They Find Love?”

Leonard Sean C. Samia

People have been so caught up with the idea and feeling of being loved. They spend and invest time, effort, money, and energy searching for the person who would make their heart skip a beat. They are gripped by the idea that someday they would fall in the warm embrace of their better half. Are they just being ridiculous? Or, there really is something to look forward to when you are in love?

THE PROMISE OF FOREVER

One of the most notable idea searched for when in love is the idea of spending the rest of your life right next to the person you hold near and dear. Imagine waking up seeing that adorable face right next to you. Fully knowing that he or she is yours for the taking and no storm can tear you apart. The promise of forever is a blissful idea many have scorned for personal and unknown reasons. Despite that, plenty of people still long for the idea of love lasting till the end of time.

THE IDEA OF LOVE

Love holds you by the hand. Love gives you the confidence to do things you have never done before. Love provides you the strength to go through an arduous day without ever burning out. Love is that happy feeling that sends sparks flying in all parts of your body. Love is that electric juice that pumps you up whenever you feel down. This is the idea of love and everyone wants to have this idea living in his or her very core. On the contrary, love stabs you with the sharpest pain, crippling one’s body until motion is no longer possible. Yet people still want to have love. They want to sense that burning passion in their gut. Because the very idea of love has become their life and without it they would cease to exist.

THE LOVE CONNECTION

Even with all that is said about love, one thing remains about its essence. Love connects everyone. It gives people the notion that life is not meant to be carried out alone. Life is given so people can share it with others. Love is the equipment one can use to save another from the tunnel of darkness. When you find that person to share your life with, then you know you can start living.

Now what do people want when they find love? They want to live a life they have been missing for so long. They have been locked up for quite some time that loving someone is like finally gasping for air after hours of being under water. Because love is that senseless string of words, that comical tie-up of sentences, and that insignificant chain of paragraphs that gives meaning to every breath we take.
