Love is like water,
a need to survive
to quench the thirst for progress and adaptation
which covers most of Earth’s surface,
yet, one can’t hold it,
it’s transparent and odorless
but it gets reflected in different colors;
love and water make life sustainable
whereas one is a necessity
another is an inbuilt emotion,
a fragrance of Earth’s element
which makes life blissful.
