I love you Today

I love you today

but will I love you tomorrow
Yesterday you plagued my mind
but today I thought of sewing
of drawing, of writing but not of you
will I love you tomorrow or will you have faded

your words made my heart beat
they motivated and inspired
they played over and over in my head
and I knew everything will be alright
now they are a screech I can't erase

I love you today
but will I love you tomorrow
when will I find someone
whom I ll love forever
and their constant presence
doesnt become a thorn in my flesh
I love you today
but will I love you tomorow

I felt like writing this because of the concept of falling in and out of love. Are they actually feeling love??? What is love? How do we know we are feeling it? can it and should it last forever??

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I won't even pretend to have the answers to those questions and I know you don't expect me to have the answers but I have asked myself these questions so many times and I came to the conclusion that the word "love" itself is a very commercialized one. It is the name given to an emotion in order to promote the idea of valentine and the likes. Have you ever considered the fact that even though obviously you love your family, mama, brothers etc - the focus is always on the opposite sex the kind of love on valentines day, a movie or music video or whatever is trying to connote the idea of love. What they show is always the physical act of "loving".

I am not denying that you do feel something for someone of the opposite sex that you develop a relationship with but to give that emotion the name "love" is just totally destroying it because with that name comes some preconceived ideas of what "love" denotes ie romance, roses, chocolate, kissing etc and I really wonder, that’s not necessarily the kind of emotion I imagine it to be all about, neither is it what you feel for your family and those are the two relationships that are mostly about “love”, right?

I believe this thing called “love” is simply meeting someone you have something in common with, developing deep affection and appreciation for them and in the case of the opposite sex kind of relationship, you can add some amount of physical attraction and viola…love happens.
With regards to how to we know when we are feeling it, I believe you can feel it for anybody if you put your mind to it, but with the opposite sex, being attracted to the person for whatever reason – physically, intellectually etc assists you in feeling it.

Should it and can it last forever? You answer that…if you can make yourself love someone, I am almost convinced you can make it last forever, depends however on whether they want you forever. In as much as we want to believe love is completely mutual, it is the concious descision of two individuals. Love at first sight is total bullocks! Its more like lust at first sight!

thank you for those moments of clarity
