I always believe every story is a love story. And love has always been my favorite philosophical topic when it comes to writing.
Thanks to @adrianus_3, I am currently enjoying the amazing, beautiful poetry from Sarah Kay and Philip Kaye. Go watch their video on YouTube, people. The poem's title is "When Love Arrives".
I would like to quote some of the beautiful, beautiful sentences.
But we found a park bench that fits us perfectly, we found jokes that makes us laugh.
Love is a terrible driver, but a great navigator.
Love is not who you were expecting, love is not who you can predict.
Well, I was about to quote some sentences only. But come on, the lines are too beautiful to be missed. So here's the first two amazing paragraphs:
I knew exactly what love looked like- in seventh grade. Even though I hadn't met love yet, if love had wandered into my homeroom I would've recognized him at first glance. Love wore a hemp necklace. I would've recognized her at first glance, love wore a tight french braid. Love played acoustic guitar and knew all my favorite Beatles songs. Love wasn’t afraid to ride the bus with me. And I knew, I just must be searching the wrong classrooms, just must be checking the wrong hallways, she was there, I was sure of it. If only I could find him.But when love finally showed up, she had a bow cut. He wore the same clothes every day for a week. Love hated the bus. Love didn't know anything about The Beatles. Instead, every time I try to kiss love, our teeth got in the way. Love became the reason I lied to my parents. I’m going to- Ben’s house. Love had terrible rhythm on the dance floor, but made sure we never missed a slow song. Love waited by the phone because she knew that if her father picked up it would be: “Hello? Hello? I guess they hung up.”
Words are beautiful and I always adore writers. I hope there will be more great love poetry like this :")

HA! my favorite part:
ReplyDeleteLove is not who you were expecting, love is not who you can predict. Maybe love is in New York City, already asleep, and you are in California, Australia, wide awake. Maybe love is always in the wrong time zone, maybe love is not ready for you. Maybe you are not ready for love. Maybe love just isn't the marrying type. Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce, love is older now, but just as beautiful as you remembered. Maybe love is only there for a month. Maybe love is there for every firework, every birthday party, every hospital visit. Maybe love stays- maybe love can’t. Maybe love shouldn't.
Maybe you are not ready for love. Ingat itu Yus.
