Love

One may search for it a lifetime and not find. Some say it doesn’t exist, some say it was always near but he just couldn’t see, and fewer say nothing. Those who said "love doesn’t exist" are those who too couldn’t find, forgetting that just because something can’t be found doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Those who said "it was always near, he just couldn’t see" are those who looked and found, but they found something else, not love. They found reasons for happiness that are indeed all around us for those who care to see them, but they failed to notice that love is not any happiness; it is a rare kind of happiness, one that even those who find, just once in a lifetime, are lucky.

The unspoken words of one of those who said nothing may be: "Love is not what makes us happy for a moment, a day, or a week, but what continuously makes us happy — like when you care for someone just because of how they make you feel." Simple words that are only heavy in the hearts that know them, and so, there is no reason to say them to those who don’t. Hence, they said nothing.
