Love Is Black And White

Love Is Black And White

By: Anthony Gregory Guajardo

A lot of things in life are complicated, complex and confusing but not love

If love was a picture, it would be one that is black and white, one that is a source of light, and happiness on your soul

Either you love or you don't, there is no in between or no center

Either you forgive or you don't, there is no midpoint and no middle ground

Love is black and white

Either they are the first person who you think about when you wake up or when you go to sleep, someone who's needs you put ahead of yours

Love is black and white

Either it inspires you to change even though you are set in your bad ways

Or it will inspire you to want to be a better person even though that will take a whole lot of effort and learning or it won't

        Love is black and white

        Either it's something you live for, something you die for

                                               Or it's just a chore or an activity to fill in the cracks of your

                                               otherwise self occupied life in which case you shouldn't say you

                                               are in love at all

               You see love is black and white

               Either it makes you feel like you are on a cloud and even if you fell

               back down to earth you would still be okay

              Or it makes you feel like you are drowning, but at that final

              moment, when the last few inches of your lungs completely fill   

              with water never comes, if  that's the case that is not love

                       Either you get up early to take a train to the other side of town

                       because that flower shop is the only place that sells the sun

                       flowers that she loves and you want to have them for her before

                       she gets home

                       Or you can't be bothered to go down the street

                        to get a bag of chips that she's craving

                                Love is black and white

                                Love means you forgive

                                Loves means you put their needs before your own

                                Love means you want to better yourself for them

                                Love means you will live and die for them

                                               You see when it comes to these things there is no middle ground

                                Either you do or don't

                                Either you can or you won't

                               Love is black and white, and that's my favorite kind of picture
