Since many times people try to define love, for which I usually think as unnecessary and time-consuming, I'm gonna post something about it just bcos I have so much leisure time. Well, I always like this lyrics, telling about what love is, or shud I say, what love is not.

Cinta bukan hanya sekedar kata
Cinta bukan hanya pertautan hati
Cinta bukan hasrat luapan jiwa
Cinta tak hanya diam.
-Padi. tak hanya diam-

Personally, I dont think we can ever really define what love is. What we can really do is telling what love is not, and I can tell that we can write till tomorrow if we want to continue those four lines. We can add 10 other lines with 'not' in them, but not 1 without. Cos at the end of the song, it sounds like this :

Cinta adalah cinta.

Some say that love is lust in disguise. And lust fades. It keeps me wondering how much of euphemisms does it take to disguise lust from being seen as itself but as something which people elevate and grovel before. Then again, what are the euphemisms? I’m guessing respect, admiration, and curiosity. Let’s put it this way..

Lust+respect+admiration+curiosity=Lust in disguise. Hence, love.

But sometimes, love fades. So, are we just running out of those ingredients kind of all of a sudden? Can’t we just add a little something among those four to keep it from fading? Apparently, it’s not that easy. When one’s missing, one's missing. We can’t just find it and add it to the equation.

Well, this one comes from me. I do know that..
Love doesn’t come around often.

Christmas here I come..
