What’s the point to try, to seek love in a world so vast? Why long for a connection, when solitude feels safer? Is it courage or folly to open one's heart, to be vulnerable? Why not simply say, "Forget it," and turn away?

Why keep trusting, despite the scars, the wounds? Why ask the same questions, knowing the familiar answers? Is it madness to expect a different response? Why should I have a heart, soft and tender?

Do I need one, when it feels like a burden? Why would I continue, stepping into the unknown? Why would I care, when apathy offers a numbing shield? Why not build a fortress, brick by brick, around my heart?

To cage my feelings, to shackle hope that deceives, Why not lock away the pain, the hope, the dreams? Why let the new age scammers spin their web of lies, When I see through the deceit, yet foolishly hope for change?

Why does my mind refuse to surrender the search, For a connection, a spark, a flicker in the dark? Is it truly the end of an era, the twilight of romance? Has the world grown too cynical, too cold, for love to thrive?

Why do we seek love, knowing it may elude us? Is it the thrill of the chase, the dance of uncertainty? Or a primal need, deep-seated, to be seen, to be known? Why does the heart resist the logic of the mind?

Is it foolish to hope for something pure, untainted? Why does the soul crave the warmth of another's presence? Why endure the ache of longing, the sting of rejection? Is it worth the risk, the fall, for a chance at true connection?

Why do we dream of love's gentle touch, When reality often bites with icy teeth? Is it naive to believe in the magic of a kiss, In the possibility of finding a soulmate, a kindred spirit?

Why not retreat into the safety of isolation, Where the only pain is the dull throb of loneliness? Why not accept the comfort of self-sufficiency, The quiet, predictable rhythm of a life without love?

But even in the darkest hour, a whisper persists: The heart, despite its wounds, yearns to beat with another. Is it foolish to keep the flame alive, to nurture it with hope? Why does the dawn always follow the night, bringing new light?

Perhaps the point of trying is not in the finding, But in the journey, the lessons learned along the way. In the moments of connection, fleeting yet profound, In the hope that, despite the odds, love will find us.
