The undeniability of love

The undeniability of love
is something you can't trifle with.
You can't avoid it, once you are in love,
you have no choice but to go through with it
in any way, however painful and uncomfortable,
it is never to be turned away
but to be stalwartly confronted
with its challenges and problematic compromises,
tragedies and crises, tribulations, sufferings and deaths;
for love is all about the central thing of life and death.
The best way just to keep it up, alive and kicking
is to concentrate on its ideals,
to never get bogged down but rather keep your nose up
breathing fresh air above water
and avoiding to get drowned in passion and infatuation;
for the only danger about love
is the psychosis of over-involvement,
getting stranded in the storm and overwhelmed
by the emotion of the unavoidable frustration
which inevitably must occur
and which, in every love affair,
is just a test and trial
to make sure that love will work,
remain, continue and survive.
