A Knee-Jerk Reaction

An outpouring of happiness, love surges up from the heart and splashes against the soul: an emotion, exclusive to humans. More than a ubiquitous word: love is an overwhelming feeling of elation that burns in your heart, and merges with your soul; defying logic and reason. The human heart entertains a multitude of inexplicable innate feelings, that fuel hopes and expectations. Love is such a feeling: both ethereal and physical, it defines humanity. A heart imbued with love will forgive: what a prideful heart will not. For love's a knee-jerk reaction that requires no thought. Love can bring excruciating pain, or a euphoric adrenaline rush: either way, it will not be ignored nor ever fade away.
