Desired Love


 

It’s just that, three little words with such a huge meaning

They say it to you and you say it back..right?

But it’s not so simple, or as easy as we make it seem

We fall in love with the small things and all together they make the big things

Their laugh, their sense of humor

We fall in love with the butterflies we get when they simply smile at us

We dream up our future with them to the sweet melody of a song

Falling in love isn’t your brain giving you signals or your smile spreading your face

Love is a secret told by one heart and protected by another

Love doesn’t always come easy

It can be unhealthy at times and over power us

But it can also be safe and be the reason to our happiness

Love should be the smile spreading across your face

Love is a barrier, our safe haven

We act as if love is the rhythm to our beating hearts

But when we think about love the same idea appears

Happiness, trust, kindness, giving more than taking

Knowing that they are right by your side

Makes all the loneliness hide

But love can be bleak

It can be overwhelming, and make you feel weak

But suffering and pain doesn’t make you weak

And being hurt by someone you love

Doesn’t make you weak either

In fact it makes you stronger then ever before

If you can rise above the ones below

Then that is the strength we must know

Whether it’s just a friendship or it’s a special someone

Love should be the never ending laughter, the non stop smiling

Love is the bright fire

That outshines any darkness

And it’s our one and only desire

Love is a promise of forever
