Love is never rainbows and unicorns. And if anyone has ever told you
otherwise, they’ve probably never been in love.
Love isn’t being with someone for a week and then declaring marriage
right after. Love takes time and patience. And when you love someone,
you’re putting up with all of their flaws and imperfections. You’re
accepting the other person and loving them for who they are - for
everything that they are. Even the things that you dislike about them,
whether it’s something little or big.
Love is extremely painful. It might keep you up at night,
contemplating and hurting. It might make you cry. Or maybe it’ll make
you angry to the point where you want to break something. Sometimes
the pain might feel unbearable and you begin to think about leaving.
But maybe that’s the beauty of the pain. To find the right person who
makes you cry and hurt and mad, and yet you’re still willing to be
with them. Actually, let me rephrase that: The right person who makes
you cry and hurt and yet you still want to be with them.
Love is taking risks. When you love someone, you’re giving them the
ability to control your feelings. Within a second, they can turn your
happiness into tears. It’s giving them your heart, fully knowing that
they can break it anytime they choose to but taking the risk and
hoping that they won’t.
When two people love each other, they become a part of one another.
You become aware of all the little details; how they laugh, how their
hair smells from the shampoo they use, what their favorite brand of
cereal is. Do they prefer laying on the right side of the bed or the
left? Coke or pepsi?
Love is never easy. But it’s not suppose to be pain 24/7 either. Love
can be beautiful just as much as it is painful. Love is the feeling
you get when you stare deep into one another’s eyes, both sharing the
same bond and both feeling the same way. The way your heart skips when
the other person smiles or laughs. The feeling you get when they stare
deep into your eyes and whisper those three special words. It’s that
feeling, knowing that you can be your complete self around the other
person, exposing your true self and knowing that they’ll still love
you.
Love is complicated. And the definition of love is different for
everyone. Its up to you to decide whether what you have is love or not.
