Love as water. A deeper truth about true love.

Water which is tasteless, scentless, and colorless, is the most essential substance for human survival. Yet, it doesn’t demand to be noticed. It just is. In the same way, true love is not about how it tastes (feels), smells (attracts), or looks (appears). It’s pure, raw, and necessary. It is not flashy, not noisy, not decorative.

Love has no taste. It’s not always a feeling.

Just like water doesn’t need flavor to sustain life, love doesn’t need butterflies to be real. Feelings may come and go, but true love stays even in silence, routine, or difficulty. It’s not always sweet but it’s always sustaining.

Love has no scent. It’s not for show.

Water doesn’t wear perfume to prove it’s clean. Likewise, true love doesn’t always “smell good” to others. It may not be glamorous, enviable, or “goals” on social media. It’s real because it gives life,  not attention.

Love has no color. It’s not limited by appearance.

Water is invisible in its purest form, yet vital. True love isn’t based on looks, tribe, status, or even “vibe.” It moves past appearances and touches the essence.

True love, like water, is:

Consistent: It flows every day, not just when it’s exciting.

Essential: You don’t survive without it.

Adaptable: It fits every vessel, every season.

Humble: It serves, not shouts.

Reflection

If your love needs taste to continue, scent to impress, or color to be valid, then maybe what you’re chasing is a drink, not water. And drinks run out. Water doesn’t.
