What is Love?


Love

Isn't what everyone thinks.

Love is not:

A dictatorship.

An excuse.

Abuse.

Blind trust.

Punishment.

Burdensome.

"Because I love you"

Means nothing.

It falls on deaf ears. Because

Love is:

A gift.

Compromise.

Hard times.

Earned trust.

Honesty.

Respect.

Communication.

Painful.

Beautiful.

Confusing.

Fragile.

Resilient.

And so much more.

Do not take Love for granted.
