“Love, hm? Love I believe is such a tiny word for something that is virtually infinite.” She paused, preparing to talk for a while.

“Love for some is a feeling, a state, a way of seeing things. It can be so many and so little; so complex and yet so simple. When you love, you can be selfless and possessive at the same time and you can become weak but that weakness can turn into a strength too. It fills you whole, it brings light to and color to your world but it can so easily darken it all too. It’s the illness and the cure, what frustrates you and then makes you sigh happily. Love is the reason you fall and for what you stand up after. When you’re in love, you discover new perspectives. Your entire world opens up and you can immerse yourself in it so deeply that it can also turn into the only thing you can see or think about. It can also bring you despair, fear to loose it once you have it, make you do things you never thought you would be capable of. It’s like a key that can open and lock away.” She could really go on but she knew that once she let the feeling take over, the feeling she got whenever she thought of a certain someone; poor Kushina would have to stay listening to her for the rest of the day.

“I would just define love as the most terrifying and marvelous of all things."
