Love is like oatmeal, when it's new, its so warm, inviting, yummy. Stir it up a bit or microwave it too long and you get lumps, then it dries up really fast. If you take care of it, and don't eat it all at once, it can be the best gift in the whole world. But if you abuse it you're stuck with dried up crusty oatmeal that sticks to you like cancer cells.
Love is also like jello. When you find it, it is so hard to hold on to. It escapes your fingers lickedysplit! Some people put it in a bowl, others eat it up so fast it was like it was never there. Some people share it out of large casserole dishes with everyone they meet. Others take so long setting the jello that when its done they can't eat it, or share it, it just sits in the fridge and rots into Hitler.
Love can also be like a bicycle - when everything is working smoothly it takes you places you need to go. However, when one thing is off, it dumps you in a place you don't recognize and you're lost until you figure out a way to walk, or crawl, yourself home.
Love can also be like a blog. Always there to talk to, never does a thing to hurt you that you didn't do yourself, connects you with people that you want to know, and is ALWAYS right at your fingertips.
Then again,
Love could just be love -
