Love


Love. It's funny thing.

If you love someone set them free. If you love someone never let them go.

Since we were kids we've been told love everyone for who they are: love family, love friends, just love.

Now all of a sudden, protect yourself, protect your heart, be careful of who you love.

Nowadays the word LOVE is just thrown around like a football.

The word love is now a meaningless word. No one knows what the word love means anymore.

You really only know the true meaning of love if you have been hurt by someone you love.

Betrayal.

Lies.

Loving the wrong person, loving someone who doesn't love you back, loving someone who loves someone else.

Love brings more tears than joy now.

It breaks more hearts than it mends.

It scars more than it heals.

It scares more people than it brings together.

What ever happened to loving people for who they are, being loyal, and the true meaning of love. Where did it go?

The world is all about "true love" but do they really know what true love is?

What is true love?

LOVE! Love is a funny thing.
