Valentine's Day: Love is in the Air

In only a few days away, I would be hearing sweet serenades from the cherubs above. I would be feeling the warmth of the eternal bond between two hearts.

I would see the sun rise yet I would never notice that time is slowly passing. I would feel my heart pounding out of my chest when I am close to that special person; and most of all, love will once again fill the air.

Valentine's Day has been a tradition for many people. Giving gifts, roses, and chocolates to that special someone to whom your heart belongs. Writing poems and just letting your mind freely express what you really feel. These may sound cliche but, well, what can we do? The heart doth protests.

We can never deny the fact that each one of us has the need to love and to be loved because love is the essence of being human. However, there are risks that you have to take when you try to love someone. But if you are willing to take them, then you should be prepared to accept whatever might happen in your relationship.

Falling in love is like riding a roller coaster. Sometimes, you are soaring high above the clouds, without a care in the world because you are with the person you love. But, not always will love get a positive reaction from you. There are times when your heart will get broken into a million pieces. You will feel pain, grief, and sorrow. But, you will eventually get over it.

Just think that there is someone out there who is better for you, who is just like you. Sometimes, your heart gets broken because that person was not meant for you. Or, maybe, it is because you are not ready to be in a relationship. It is hard to accept the truth, but that is life. We just have to keep moving forward.

Love is a very powerful thing. It can influence so many people by just a touch. It can break down barriers, it can connect different people to one another, it can be a source of strength and courage, it can give someone comfort, it can make someone do many different things. And most of all, because of love, life is a lot easier than we think. You just need to find the right source of it.
