Open Up Your Heart

They say that love is selfless. If you really love someone, you are ready to give your all. But that does not mean you need to pretend blind when the one you love does not love you back.

Love is the various passions that we felt when love and attention manifested to us. It is not merely about romance. Love can signify several conditions and can deviate from somebody to another. 

What establishes love are care, honesty, and trust. Everybody desires to be loved. It gives each one of us joy and makes us feel like we have value. We love for numerous reasons and matters, and the passion we believe changes throughout our lifetimes.

So, for this article, it contains the first four submitted works for the Poem Writing Event.

Journey to love 
by @bbghitte

The life I travelled
Is dark and disheveled 
As if the world is shattered 
I don't know how to move.

Give up, give up! 
A loud voice from above 
I felt scared, so scared 
I trembled and felt cold.

I am ready to close my eyes 
Sign of surrender and defeat 
Tears began to roll and fall 
This journey I must end.

Hey mister 
Get up, get up! 
What are you doing in my truck? 
But I was just to weak to answer.

I slowly opened my eyes 
All I see is white 
Am I in heaven or not 
Then you came out, so I told myself thanks God!

Hey mister 
Are you deaf or what? 
Then I smiled 
What a cute angel on my sight!

Then things around me gets clearer 
More colors, livelier 
Now I find the perfect reason to get up 
To live again and fight.

Thanks my love 
I was in the verge of giving up 
But you are there just in time 
You pick me up and bring me back to life.

I met you not by accident 
Not even a coincidence 
But for me to start another journey 
My journey to love you!

Love has multiple definitions. It can indicate being tender towards an individual, and that the love paid back or reciprocated.

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

I still love you anyway 
by: @carisdaneym

Why does it hurt to feel alone? 
No one cares if I'm not home 
It feels like I'm in a big dome 
But here I am crying, alone.

I wish that we can be together 
Watching sunset until forever 
How I wish that you're still here 
Hugging and talking to each other.

I didn't take you for granted, 
I love you co'z that's what I wanted 
You left me dumbfounded 
that's how our story ended.

You left me so voiceless 
You left me like I was worthless! 
You left me, You left me! 
And I become heartless

The sorrow and tears of yesterday 
It doesn't faded away 
Even if you passed away, 
I still love you anyway.

Love is an assemblage of feelings and emotions that we undergo. Love could also indicate faiths or practices that manifest your love to special someone.

Untitled
by @Sayonara

You are the sun that sparkles brilliantly consistently. 
You are the gravity that pulls me down all around. 
You are the moon that sparkles consistently. 
You are stars that flicker quite brilliant. 
You are the oxygen that holds me alive. 
You are my heart that pulsates inside. 
You are the blood that courses through me. 
You are the solitary person that I can see. 
You have the sound of when a mockingbird sings. 
You are my beginning and end. 
You are my all in all. 
You prevent me from being so desolate. 
We plan our future as though we understand. 
I never need to lose you. 
I need you to be my significant other, and I need to be your better half. 
I need to be with you for the remainder of my life.

Love is a feeling that everyone is longing for. It lets them feel comfortable and alive. That is why when someone loves someone who is only sweet at first, then will go away like a bubble, that someone feels extreme pain.

"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”

A Fool for Your Charms 

By @Captainrex5

You brought me laughter, 

When all I felt was just pain. 

Now; I love again.

Love is the foundation for passionate relationships; a couple of partners caring and loving each other. They believe in each other and examine to manage out their disagreements when they argue. Friendships also have a spirit of love. Though it may not be as passionate as romantic relationships, friends still love us. They care for us, make us felicitous, and also care about us. But note that friendships that were just based on fame and state do not last long.
