Uncharted love is somewhere I have never really been. Sure I have had my regular relationships, and my high school crushes. Strangely we confuse these things for love so often that boundaries somehow cross eachothers path. This makes me wander what is the uncharted part of love?
I see it as a place that we have neither been to before, nor are likely to go again, it is like a far away island only mentioned in a whisper from a tongue that surely cannot be trusted. This is where love must be truly found, on that island that may or may not exist, the only chance for it is to sail in the direction you feel it most likely to be, and to hope to God that it truly exists.
It must not be like a mountain, love cannot ever be conquered, it must be more like an exploration, one of encompassing danger, and daring risk, with a gentle side rolled into it, one of faith that your island does lie out in the uncharted waters of the world, and temperance so that you will not give up at the first sense of animosity. Virtue is a key component in love, that and morals, passion lies there as well, virtue is like your island, something you strive to find, morals are what bind you to your quest and to your island when you find it, and passion is what drives you to find what you are looking for.
The only real question is whether or not your island exists? The answer is never simple, it is hazy like the fog of the morning sea, and the dangers are they any less then death? Because what if there is no island for each of us to discover? This thought invades my mind everytime I start to engage in a conversation with the opposite sex, everytime I think of taking that first step into the boat of exploration of love, it scares me to death, yet is it not death to never take that chance? Is it not more alive to take the chance that your own island is out there then to never set foot off of the docks? Believe me it is, and when my turn to set sail is upon me I will not falter, I believe that each of us has an island to discover, one that was born/formed specifically for our individual self. So when your time comes set your course for those uncharted waters and discover what mysteries lie outside the depths of what you call security.
