Catching Feelings

By Ruksana Nongrum

The ability to catch feelings for another person is beautiful,

because it is the certificate of the universal against the individual.

We button ourselves with a fast paced present, while being capable to love someone despite them not even knowing,

Is the last shred to protect us from a cold future and the only thing left that can make us human again.

But do we know the ultimate price we have to pay for these affections?

Thriving for their constant approval,

Relentlessly working as if the world would stop spinning,

If this loop hole cannot be filled then

I would throw away everything I just said and choose to be far from human because the pain is and will never be worth it.
