Someone asked me the other day, not if I have ever been in love, but ever felt love for someone. That got me thinking... How do you even know, and what's the difference? What exactly does love look like? Has anyone ever seen it walking around? What color is it?
I mean I got love. I know what that is. I got love for my peeps. Got love for the homies. Oh, and I can show some love *claps hands* like they say at concerts and performances. But being in love, and feeling love for someone, probably not the same thing.. It's kinda like puce. For those that don't know, puce is a color. I have known this for a while. It's actually sort of a joke between my bff and I, which is neither here nor there. But even though I knew it was a color, I couldn't tell you what it looked like even though I suspected it was a shade of pink. Then when I finally saw it, and it was actually identified, it was like, oh ok, yeah that looks like it could be puce. I'll buy it. But when was the last time love was staring me right in my face? (don't answer that) Who has ever pointed it out and defined it? I may be thinking it's green, when it's actually some shade of purple. What the hell do I know?
Plus people, including myself, use the word so often, who is to say what it really means. I guess there are just different kinds of love. I mean, I love me some Chipotle. Mighta saved my life this past weekend actually. Or I love Dulce de Leche cheesecake (Why am I not surprised that food would be the first example I thought of? Might be my first love) That's very different from how I love my mamma.
At any rate, hopefully I'll know it when I see it. I think I will, at least that's what I tell myself. Until then, its just like puce to me.
