Midnight in love

   “So… you actually like me.”

   “Wasn't it obvious?”, she replied perplexed. He felt the urge to caress her red cheek, although the fear of ruining her irreal beauty dismissed that need. Instead, he just answered. “Maybe. I was too busy liking you to notice.”

   “Flash-back of you liking all my pictures from Facebook”, she said winking.

   He couldn't help but horselaugh, his arms holding on to his belly as if the laughter could tear him apart. She immediately joined him, and soon they were nothing but a pair of young lovers hugging and laughing under the moon.

On how to fully understand love

  Love is the purest of the feelings. It gives and never asks for anything in return, yet it makes us feel complete although we are the ones giving.

  I have always had that clear in my mind, but today I've had an epiphany: "I love you more than I love him/her" does not exist. Let me explain this carefully.

  If we talk about true love, I must make clear that it is different for everyone. I don't love my mother the same way I love my sister or my friends, but that does not mean I love one more or less than the other. I love them differently, just like they love me back in their own way, and when it comes to truly loving, there is no limit on the amount of people you can feel that towards.

  I have to confess I felt a bit sad a few days ago. I wrongly thought my father had a deeper connection with my brother, which made him love his son more than his daughter –me. But coming to this conclution, I now know he loves us with all his heart, and shares some things with my brother and some others with me.

  Understanding how love actually works has erased the emptiness I carried, my heart feels lighter and happier and I can finally say goodbye to jealousy, because that doesn't exist in true love's world.
