Love is an irregular oscillation between everything that the heart wants, and everything that it dreads. Everything kneels down to it. Love is probably the only sorcery we have ever seen.
When it finally knocks at your door, it is nothing like you thought it would be. It heals you from the wounds you had lived with all your life. It makes you vulnerable, but never weak. It fits in like a piece that you never knew you were missing.
Love looks like your favourite song that soothes you to sleep on a bad day. It remains the same on every loop, and you don't need it to be anything more than that either. Years pass by, and it remains as beautiful as the first time you listened to it.
It is a bowl of ice cream that they send you to make you smile after a long day at work. It looks like unkempt hair and bare face on a video call that makes your heart skip a beat. It looks like their stupid jokes that are only funny to the two of you. It is that grip on your hand that tightens before you have to leave.
It's love when you look at them and find yourself. It's love when it shines like the light at the end of the tunnel, when everything goes dark.
But if you ask me, I will tell you it's the person you think of, absentmindedly, every time you read the word 'love'.
I think that's what love looks like.
