To a love you long for..

Saturday night, sitting under the lonesome light.

With a dorm of people unknown, you crave to hug someone you can call your own.

When you feel nothing could go more wrong, maybe you feel like one worthless pawn.

When words cannot describe the degree of being alone, and all you need is somebody to call home.

It’s love, that you long for.

Longing in love is something inseparable.

It is desire, a hope for a better fable.

It’s not only for those who haven’t found the correct person.

It’s within everyone still grinding for the perfect human equation.

In the kid who watches his parents dance to the same song, the same old story.

In the girl who sees her first act of chivalrous glory.

In the child who witnesses his first ‘old school love’ movie.

In the boy who sees her having an extra fast only for his health truly. Births, a love to long for.

From A Queen and King under the bed hiding from the heavens

To those connected by a thread across space and time on mountain edges.

From history to lyrics about nights, weddings, and love stories

That frankly transcend every other moment of human glories.

Fiction or real, you learn about the kind of love you long for.

Every time you opened up to a stranger on a walk.

For every extra minute, you prepared for that first talk.

Through every souvenir you saved because it could turn into a potential memory.

For every little detail about them, you wrote in your little diary.

You come a step closer to the love you long for.

Sometimes it will not have a happy ending.

Sometimes it wouldn’t make sense to anyone living.

Sometimes you will hold onto it for the fear of losing yourself.

Sometimes you will end up searching for it again no matter the scars it has given.

It’s okay to be scared or need time, for then you know it was a love, you genuinely longed for

Finally, are the infinitely blessed ones who have experienced that magical singularity.

If you can look at someone and understand why life hit a restart button suddenly.

If your vision also tunnels to filter out everything else in existence like an NPC.

If you found someone with whom being becomes just, easy.

Maybe, you found the love you longed for.

And when you find someone who doesn’t tolerate your jokes but loves them.

When you find someone who doesn’t comply with your unrealistic expectations but raises them.

When you find that something inexplicable in seeing eye to eye and saying I love you.

and when you can define love as a human and every look in your eyes says, me too!

You know, you found the love you longed for.

In the rigged game of death, If in your final minutes

If you magically start smelling the conditioner off their hair tips

Your hands start moving like when they used to be intertwined.

And you can see the moment you made the vow to belong to each other from that day to the end of your times.

You know you won in life.

You lived a life of love, to long for.
