. What is Love?

When I hear about the word love .
I think about the love you have towards your family ,Allah and your siblings.
The type of love you share for one another .
the type of love that brings each and one of us closer ..
Love ? It hurts us but still makes us.
Love will bring you happiness .
And then all of sudden bring you pain
To me love is what to people share .
But now a days love is beyond what I pictured to be .
In life you'd see people often getting hurt , killing them selfs feeling depressed all cause of heartbreaks .
You will see girls falling deep in love and really end up getting hurt.
The things I see is sad
That's why in certain things like this I'm never glad.
As I was growing up .
I never really knew the word Love.
I just pictured it to be a four letter word.
To me love wasn't really a thing
Until some people gave it a meaning .
I always use to ask my self
What is love?
What is this word that everyone seems to be talking about the most ?
Then I understood the value of love?
And how it was more then just a word
I found that it was a type of feeling. That brought to people Close.
But then I kept wondering and asked my self if love brings happiness towards others.
then why is it hurting other people then I've realized that certain people aren't the same.
and not everyone really shows the true meaning of love in the same way. That's when I decided to be cautious when it comes to love.
And often decide to judge people based on what I've heard .
I never knew the meaning of love.
And until this day I still don't seem to understand it as well .
I guess like most people I'd have to experience the word love in my own way and see things from my own perspective .
But for now I guess the word love will remain as a mystery
And that's all I wanted to add to my story .
