"KNOWING WHAT LOVE IS"
by Becky Hemsley 2024
Love is not what the shops and the stores and social media would have us believe at this time of year.
It is not chocolates or flowers or perfume.
It is not balloons and heart-shaped cookies.
Love is quiet but it feels so loud.
It is gentle but it feels so fierce.
It is both ordinary and yet entirely extraordinary.
So yes, buy the chocolates or the perfume.
Blow up the balloons and fetch the flowers.
But know that this is not where love lies.
Love lies in the in-between moments of life. The comfortable silences. The thoughts of special people that randomly pop into your head. The memories you have of your time with them.
Love does not need a dozen red roses to announce itself.
So if your tomorrow consists of comfortable silences and random thoughts of special people...
Then you know love.
It lies in you.
