Arrivals Gate

If you want to feel love try the Arrivals gate at any airport. Here there's no hate, just a longing and anticipation and excitement. A wait coming to an end. Eager families waiting excitedly to be reunited with their loved ones. Loved ones slowly pushing their trolley eagerly on the lookout for someone familiar in the crowd.

A place for tears, but not of sorrow. People excitedly waiting for that first glimpse, often craning their neck to get the best glimpse. People eagerly waiting to be introduced to their newest members, lovers rushing into a sweet embrace. 

There's greetings and respect. People bending over in respect to touch the he feet or just holding on tight. 

You have excited kids everywhere, looking ahead in wide-eyed astonishment and anticipation. Wives with teary eyes and lovers in eager anticipation knowing that the wait, their dry will soon come to end. Not bothering of the states all around, they will hold on tight and kiss. To hold your whole world in your arms.

People holding placards trying to get the attention of their guests, chatting other members and colleagues who are doing the same.

The Arrivals gate proves that love is indeed all around. This place where your religion does not matter, neither your gender, age or preference. You are all part of one big love fest.
