Metaphors and Similes

Can you classify those feelings?
Your love?
Your happiness when you're with another person?
Can you put it into words?
No, you can't.
At best, very poorly.
Love isn't about words.
It's about feeling.
It's about feeling feeling hurt when they're sick.
It's about feeling lonely when they're away.
And feeling relieved when they return.
A return to something simpler.
Like music.
You can't explain the feeling, but its there.
Like some kind of lingering notion.
Like a question with several answers.
And I don't know any of them.
Love is a metaphor best explained by similes.

Penned by my hand on the 8th of Solis, in the year 426 AD.
