A Happy Love

November 7, 2017

Life needs love,

but

lying is not love,

lust is not love,

leaving is not love.

Society has reconstructed “love”,

making us construct barriers

to protect our hearts from the expected:

pain.

We need better.

We deserve better.

We hope for better.

Pain is not love.

Love is

Lasting,

Original,

Venturesome,

Ebullient.

Whether it be someone to kiss

or just someone to miss,

comfort, honesty, and security

create a love that makes me happy.

<p>Love is unique in every relationship. Love should always make both parties feel comfortable to be themselves.</p>
