Learning to fly with no wings,

Seeing the sun in the middle of the night,

knowing everything is going to be alright.

Being able to feel accompanied while alone,

Hearing your voice even before you ring,

Love is warmth on a cold day,

A cold drink when you are thirsty.

    Indeed, love is very beautiful, and your work is a reflection of it. It’s very nice, and I would like to write a text for each verse, but I don’t like exaggerations. When I am thirsty, I will love in order to quench my thirst anyway.

    "Learning to fly with no wings" and "seeing the sun in the middle of the night" are such powerful expressions of hope and resilience. The shift to the more sensory descriptions of love as warmth and a cold drink is equally effective, grounding the abstract concept in tangible feelings. This is a truly lovely and inspiring piece.✨👍

    Soft, warm, and comforting—like a hug in word form! Love feels like magic here, something beyond logic but completely real. Sweet and simple, just right!

  • That last line, that's such a wonderful feeling. Loved your poem!
