" Love is a funny thing . You expect it to be easy .
You expect it to be a world of roses and laughs .
Perfect moments that you only find in movies .
You expect you always say the right thing .
And to always know exactly how to feel . . .
And exactly how to react to it .
You expect they'll call you while in town,
whether yelling,whispering, or chasing you and you run away .
You expect so much that you feel entirely, and utterly,
defeated. . . With something that doesn't always match to all your plans .
. . . But that's the thing - Love isn't a plan . It doesn't have a certain
beginning, it certainly has no end . Even if its finish line's something
you believen in .
Love happens . It's so incredibly messy . People around you can't
comprehend why you do things you do . Or why you fight so hard for
something that seems to ease/cause so much pain .
Because simply, they can't see . . . They can't see the invisible ring
of. . . the insanity that's around you when you're in-love .
It's inconvieniant, painful, and devistating at times . But we
can't live without it . When your still learning how hard love is,
how much of ourselves, we have to put into it . How it isn't
worth it until we've completed and feel like idiots about it .
Love isn't for calming you down or getting you out .
It's for laughing and loving, just as loud, just as hard, right back at you .
Right in your face to wake you up, and to get you up everyday .
It isn't her or him, bring you roses everyday, and keeping things
that make your relationship appear more presentable . . .
It's right after a fight that the life and bones jump right out of both of you .
And yet, her or him, showing up at your door the next morning?
. . . Anyway, it's not her saying all the right things, or knowing exactly
how to handle you . But you'll know . It's not him or her holding your head,
telling you everything's gona be okay . But them standing there,
admitting they're just as scared as you are . You have to remember,
that with love, youre not the only one in-love . You un-knowingly. . .
Put your life and heart into the palm of another's hand. . . . And saying,
"Here, do what you will . Mash it into a million pieces, mash it into meat, or
forget I ever handed it to you in the first place . Just as long as you have it ."
. . . It makes reality and races all over remind that they shouldn't fight . . .
because love isn't about hiding ourselves in it . . . Or feeling safe,
or sure about the future . It's about scaring the s**t out of every
nerve in our body . . . But pushing forward anyway . Because all
the fighting, and all the tears. . . And all uncertainty, is worth it .
It's a hell of alot better than being 100% happy without someone to share it with .
That there's a world of difference between feeling happy, and feeling old. "
