"Love me for a reason .. Let the reason be Love..!"

"I'm in love!
Hey!
It sure feels like love.
It's got to, got to be love.
It must be love.
'Cause it sure feels like love.
It must be love.
It sure feels like love.
Yeah! Must be love.
I know it's love.
It's modern love."

Sammy Hagar in his Hit single "Feels like Love" ... Ever thought why a song with such confusing lyrics could ever be a hit .. because it displays the very confusion one feels when falling in love.

I have been told about a certain phenomenon called "Love at first sight" .. ( I do hear it has been modified to "Love at first sight/chat") . I'm also told that it has been there since time eternity.. The witches have long been stopped being burnt, voodoo is almost on a revival journey and even pagan gods are in fashion again .. but sad to say, this idiom hasn't quite lost its effect on people..!

When I look around myself today, I find unprecedented levels of confusion and chaos. I find people at a loss for words when confronted by someone they know. Greetings are mere formalities and wishing somebody makes no sense unless you are in their "inner circle". washroom gossip has given way to coffee lounge chats and love letters to sms proposals. Divorces and break-ups are as common as football matches in a season.

In this time of confusion and chaos, if the concept of "Love at first sight" holds .... I'll still give you the benefit of doubt , but would you folks be good enough to clear some of mine?

Firstly, Love itself is such a complex emotion how is it possible to decipher it, understand it and give it a meaning in such a short span of time as one glance?

Secondly, the word "LOVE" that we use with such disregard, does it hold true for most context's that we use it i? To take it further, over the years we have identified infatuation, lust,crush and many such words to define what would be a lower form of "LOVE", a psuedo-love so to speak.But while we invent new words to define our mental states, the emotions remain the same.So do you still think that the "LOVE" you feel at the first sight/glance is Love actually ..?

Thirdly, Taking from Sammy Hagar's song, sometimes it does feel like love, but we are confused. Sometime the society we live in, our friends all contribute towards emotions that are really not there. Sometimes you "have to" feel sad, or "should be" feeling happy or more importantly "are in" Love ..!
So the sleepless nights due to acidity, the stomach upset because of which you were not feeling hungry and the daydreams because of the sleepless nights would lead you to Love rather than a medicine shop.
So essentially speaking .. are you really sure that you are really in Love ..??

I could .. and would go on and on were it not for the drooping eyes and clouding thoughts ... What I would like to end on, though, is a positive note. There is Love out there .. there are lovers still, but not all who claim are worth their due in Love..

Think about it ..
