My View

Some crave a love of lust

Others something that is more deep

Some are in it because they were told to

Others because they can’t escape

What makes a relationship healthy is not smiles

It’s not the perfect moments, compassion, touch

It’s not the “what I would do for you” or the “I love you so much”

What makes a relationship healthy is more than media portrays

There is no healthy love a movie could convey

What makes a relationship healthy isn’t easy times

It’s not when everything falls into place

It’s when nothing seems to be going right

People often look for the happy endings

Love that seems to be so sweet

But a healthy relationship is facing something no couple would think

A healthy relationship is facing trials, fighting when your mad

Getting frustrated when your loved one leaves their socks on the bed

It’s going through financial, emotional taxing pain

Its wondering if you will be with your loved one the next day

It’s something you would never want to face

Something you learn from all the same

Something all too painful to explain

But something you would fight for all over again the next day
