Heart of Life

Believe in love. A phrase I repeated so many times already. Despite seeing so many people failing in their journey through love, I didn't faltered. 

Waiting and creating happiness has what I have been doing for the past 5 years of my life. Let me clarify, I'm only 20, and I started believing in real, sincere and true love when I was fifteen. Even then, I was too young to understand the word love. My idea of it was hormones rising, heart beating, sweaty palms and stuttering in front of the person. As most of you know, that isn't love. And I'm still too young to understand about it but at least I have some idea now. 

Too many songs have been written about love. Most of them are my favorites. But I stumbled upon a song that tells the tale of love in a very short and yet prolific lyrics. 

John Mayer's Heart of Life is a song that summarizes what love is. There's pain yet there's also hope and happiness. It's becoming one of my rainy songs. And though some may not agree with me, I think that this song is full of hope about love, despite it being painful sometimes. 

I hate to see you cry
Laying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your firends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good

I know it's good
