WHEN LOVE GOES UNSEEN
A Reflection by SIMU

Love sits in its corner
in shock, in awe, stunned
as people who swear they are searching for it
walk right past it.

They sit on the same couch with love,
brush against it,
bump into it,
while endlessly searching for it.

So caught up chasing illusions,
they’ve forgotten what love actually looks like.

Curated, picture-perfect fantasies
have created an image of love
so polished, so unreal,
that even Love itself
stares at it in disbelief.

People now sit beside love
yet spend their entire lives looking for it.

And all the while,
love may be staring at you
grasping your hand,
resting its head on your shoulder,
present in the quiet moments,
patient in its simplicity.

But in a world that moves too fast,
that confuses noise for meaning,
love has become too subtle to notice
even when it is already home.

A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
