I don't believe in love at first sight.
Because you can't love someone until
You know them better than you know yourself,
You're willing to destroy the entire universe for their sake,
You would unquestionably go to hell and back just to see them smile.
And that doesn't happen at first sight.
Love is when oxygen becomes trivial,
When time loses its meaning,
When life gains its purpose
And that doesn't happen at first sight.
Love is placing more importance on someone else
Forgetting your struggles and pains by simply thinking about them
Feeling empathetic in situations that you would've hardly cared about prior
And that doesn't happen at first sight.
Love is changing yourself to be better,
Giving your everything without thinking of reimbursement,
Willingly going above and beyond,
And taking risks out of your comfort zone,
And that doesn't happen at first sight.
Love changes you in ways
that you could've never imagined possible
Love gives you things
that you could've never imagined possible
Hold onto love, and never let go
Protect it, cherish it, embrace it
Because it doesn't happen at first sight
And once you find it,
The adventure has just begun.
