the problem about loving

Love's this entirely puzzling emotion that you feel, want to feel, do not feel or feel too much. Now i do not want to define something so nebulous that it defies even Matthew Arnold's famous definition about culture! I can best say, it is like this gum you like you chew it and the flavor fills your mouth and it tickles your taste bud and refreshes your mouth and you like it ooh, so much... but then it goes bland, tasteless and you grow tired, you jaws begin to hurt. Then you spit it out, wrap it in a piece of paper, or stick it somewhere(depending on what you prefer) and then that's it. You move on. But the point to note here is despite the spitting out of the gum, you go back to chewing a different one, when you feel like it. That's exactly how love is. When you fall in love...its heaven on earth like the good poet said. and likewise, all things beautiful lose their color, they fade and you have to move on...life is mutable, but the experience is not. Its really something to have that nice feeling inside your heart, even for a few minutes....
