Is love what they show in movies, portrayed in poems, stories, and plays, or an amalgamation of all this?
Well, every person has their own story and understanding of love, which is unique in its own way.
What love means to you might not mean love to the other person.
My love story might be completely different from yours.
But at the end, it's our story that matters.
I dream of a love like two swans who are always there for each other and who always love their partner despite the situations.
I dream of a love like the the two snakes, inclined and closed to each other, where there is no space for anyone or anything to enter.
I dream of a love like the lions ; the male lion is always there to protect the female lion and their cubs, maintaining the pride of the family. Whereas, the female lion supports her male partner and ensures the safety of the cubs.
Dreams turn into reality when you manifest them and truly believe in them. The majority of people will say this ain't possible ; this is too much to ask for, but let me remind you that these things come for free and are meant to be altruistic. If it's none of the above, then you might want to rethink.

By the way, I am fond of reading newspapers and stories, but ever since I have read your poem and your thoughts, I have become fond of reading your writings.
Your poem beautifully captures the complexity and individuality of love while inspiring reflection on the possibilities within our own unique stories. Keep it up with your good work.
