As absurd as it sounds

Ever heard about what Dr. Seuss think of love?
For him, it is when you cannot fall asleep—
Reality has finally become better than the dreams inside our heads

Funny how horrible this force could be
  yet we carelessly show our vulnerable selves as we open our hearts
risking our own sanity—
our mind, barenaked
through the possibility that love can get inside us and mess us up

As for Lao Tzu,
Love gives us courage
while being loved gives us strength
Profound words from a guru mouth
That I would never understand until I realize—

I loved you the same way that I learned how to ride a bike
Scared, but reckless
Riding, before looking
Leaping, before deciding
Without training wheels or elbow pads
—so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you

I want you to know that
Never will I ever demand neither for gold around the neck
nor diamond in my fingers
I love you enough to yearn for you
—to be with me to see the sunrise;
sit in silence to be amazed by the farewell of every sunsets
I promise to hold you tight even when the stars seem to be shy at night

Amidst the fact that love is just a shout into the void;
Oblivion is inevitable—
Even if we are all doomed,
That there will come a day when all our labor will return to dust
And, the sun will swallow the only Earth we'll ever have

As absurd as it sounds baby
I love you.
