If you’ve been hiding from love
If you’ve been hiding from love
I can understand where you’re coming from
I can understand where you’re coming from
If you’ve suffered enough
If you’ve suffered enough
I can understand what you’re thinking of
I can see the pain that you’re frightened of
.
And I’m only here
To bring you free love
Let’s make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
.
Hey girl
You’ve got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there’s no price to pay
We’ve been running from love
We’ve been running from love
And we don’t know what we’re doing here
No we don’t know what we’re doing here
yup. free love. i was fascinated by this idea… free and love seem such… unrelated ideas. but once you think slightly more about it… it seems like such a beautiful ideal we can never reach.
but i can understand it. i’ve felt it in fleeting amounts before. that feeling of just… absolute bliss. it’s just pure simple and easy… love. the kind of love with no regards for anything or anyone. it’s like peeling away the layers that surround the jewel at the centre. shedding away all the falseness, all that pretence.
who cares about religion. who cares about parents. who cares about the future. who cares about the past. who cares about the surroundings! fuck it we live in the present. and for that, let’s love. let’s let go of all our inhibitions, and love, truly madly deeply. if it only lasts for this one day, or this one hour, or this one minute, it doesn’t matter. because we can say, we have loved.
love with so much considerations for other things is not… pure love already. it’s tainted, it’s held back, it’s trapped, it’s marred by all the crazy things that pollute it.
but yet love without considerations for other things is… irresponsible. the lack of planning, the total spontaneous-ness, the easy-ness of it all. no wonder people would be afraid of it. no commitment required, just love. there is no warranty, no guarantee of what you get out of it.
free love… the feeling is wonderous though. the process of falling in love, and trying hard to suppress it and then expressing it… that kind of childish wonder, of youthful joy… it’s so invigorating. but only for a really short while. because soon, all the problems start to sink in. and it’s gone, just as easily as it came.
thank you kc for letting me feel this again. thank you.
