Love, Love, Love

Love. Love. Love.
You think you can’t control it but that’s a lie.
It’s you who do not want to.

You like the way it makes you feel.
You like the fantasies that creep into your mind when you stare at him or her.
You subconsciously decide to grow these emotions only because it is so addictive, promising pleasure and total bliss, that you desire more and more of it.

Biology isn’t also on your side. Your heart beats faster when you are around him or her. Your tone changes when you engage in a conversation with him/her, in an almost seductive way. Strangely, you also find everything he or she says to be funny or amusing.
Your body no longer becomes yours when they are around. You become uneasy and restless as well, when you do not hear from them even for a day.

I am sure you will say these show you are in love but I dare say no.
It is nature’s inbuilt mechanisms to ensure you mate. It is the way things are meant to play out, where the males have a strong physical attraction to the females and vice-versa. Mechanisms put in place since the “first man” to ensure perpetuity of the human species.

Yes. You decide to love.
Most of Literature says you can’t choose who you love. It just hits you.
I say no.

You decide to let go. You decide to drown in the sweetness the great sea of love presents.
It’s your decision.
