love and the loss of my brain

i mentioned earlier 
that love is a part 
of what makes us human

but at the same time
its more than that
but also less than that


love is what we desperately hope for
but try to push away

because what if
it were truly just a dream
just a wish

just something made up 
by hippies driven by drugs

and what if its real
oh if its real
were all doomed

because what if you missed your chance 
and what if its too late

but heres the truth about love
it will be there when you least expect it

its not something you breath in 
or something in the air
its something inside of each of us

just like when my parents truth fully said 
they loved each other
i can say that i love hot chocolate
in fact i can say i'm in love with hot chocolate

because hot cocoa has no say in my feelings for it
there is no force telling me 
hot cocoa is attractive or hot or delicious
its my personal opinion

but maybe one day i will win a contest
and because i love hot chocolate more than anyone else on the planet
i will get to jump into the worlds largest mug of hot cocoa 
and drink all i want



and maybe i will discover that hot cocoa 
should be served cold if intended to drink
and spend time in the hospital due to third degree burns
maybe i will learn 
i'm not as good at swimming as i thought
and also spend time in the hospital 

and maybe just maybe i will stop loving hot cocoa

but that doesn't mean that i didn't love hot cocoa 
or that that love wasn't real
it simply means that i don't see it the same way anymore

which is why you don't truly deeply love someone 
until you learn to love their faults

because love is not in the air 
its something inside you
and even though loving someone is not always your choice
working for that love is

love is genuine caring 
and believing that that person
faults and all
is important
and that you want to spend your time with them
that you want to make them smile 
to make them happy
that you want that person to rely on you

love isnt a great force out in the world
but a great force within you that no one truly understands yet
because you cannot program a robot to love
and it is far from logical 
i can only assume that 
rather than love being some stupid chemical in the brain
it is a part of you
a part of you that 
like a drug
tells your brain to be happy or sad or confused or strait out dumb founded

because love is hard complex 
and definitely not a part of science or math

because no matter how science tries to define it
it dosent make sense
if it were science 
love would make us happy
just happy

if it were math 
one person plus another 
gives you three 
because two people can make a baby

i know im far from qualified 
to tell you that science and math 
have nothing on love
but if my brain could contain love
i wouldn't feel like someone turns it off 
whenever i'm near you 
like i'm running on the fumes
of past thoughs
past words

like i can never say the right things
or talk enough
i would never feel like i needed to open up to you
because i dont feel like i need to to speak my mind to anyone else
