Dear heart what does falling in love really mean?

There are often too many thoughts and feelings that prove hard for me to articulate or to put into words.

Nine times out of ten I am in my own world of thoughts calculating, imagining, praying, hoping and wishing that one day the sentence falling in love will make sense to me. As it stands in my head it means an inseparable force that pulls two people together or am I just thinking too deeply?

I don't really have a live platform where I can emulate what true couple love is or what it means, or let me say I haven't really seen true love played out in front of me with the couples I have grown up with #Cryptic

On social media you often see #Couple goals #BAE #Theloveofmylife. Honestly it gets a bit tiring seeing these hash tags  because I can't help but think 'how do you really know if these so called couples are happy?' The rate at which break ups occur is alarming sometimes, you think it will last forever then the next minute you hear its over...

 Just because you see a picture of a couple posing together smiling, it actually doesn't mean anything. 

Well according to Urban dictionary the phrase falling in love is often used when you are constantly thinking about someone and you can't seem to get them off of your mind. Your heart skips a beat each time you see the person, you get butterflies in your stomach, they are the last person you think about before you go to sleep e.t.c.

I think about food all the time, my heart skips a beat each time I see a nice plate of food, I get butterflies in my stomach each time I see a mouth watering dish and food is the last thing on my mind right before I sleep LOL so I guess I am in love with food then! Ha...

In all seriousness falling in love sounds quite intense when you think of it.... If you pick the words apart and say it in your head quite a number of times it has much more weight than briskly saying it without thinking about it. To fall means to drop or descend down imagine descending down into a pool of love. The thought of it is actually so comforting :)

But then again if this phrase is anything to go by, if you did fall in love why did the relationship end so quickly? Was it really love?

Maybe falling in love is an outdated form of expression... Maybe loving Bae should be the new term I don't know...

I choose to stick by 'Falling in love' because when I do fall in love I want it to be forever.

  1. Relationships being based on love only came about 300 or so years ago so it's not surprising that relationships are failing at a rapid rate. Ancient civilizations and biblical accounts structure their homes and love lives on the advancement of their civilizations and culture not out of lust and courting. Ancient societies held their relationship together based on spirituality, community support and cultural contribution, nothing like modern day relationships.

    And if love itself has to be defined, in Ancient culture terms it would be define in the context of sacrifice rather than butterflies, thinking about someone and other things from my perspective is lust and idolatry.

    Interesting topic tho !!!!!!
