True Love

 True love is distinctive...there are just no words you can find to explain it... it's when you can be in a room full of people but the only person you see is them... when they drive you up a million walls, but you can't help but love them...when you would do anything for them...it's when you're not with them, you feel completely lost...when you close your eyes at night, and their face is all you see...when you're stuck in a daze because they're always in your thoughts...when you are so angry at them, but you can never be for too long...but even more importantly, love is commitment...being committed to that one person, through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs....that's what love is about. 

Love is honesty, telling that person the truth always and at all times, even if you know it may hurt them, because lies always hurt way more. Love is loyalty, sticking it out even though times may be bad....love is patience, sometimes the person you love may need space, give it to them.....love is forgiveness, people make mistakes...when the person you love hurts you, at first you may not be able to see beyond the pain, but it's the only way we can move forward and start fresh again. Love is generosity...when you love someone sharing should never be an issue....love is compassion...never miss an opportunity to show affection....and finally love is pure...so when you are truly in love, you love from the very depths of your soul...with everything that is within you, because you can never truly love someone if you are not vulnerable...if you don't love them with your whole heart. 

Life is about taking risks, and giving our hearts to someone is one of them, but it's a risk we have to take because yes there is a possibility that it may never work out, but if we don't take that risk, we run the chance on losing out on one of life's greatest gifts, a gift that if we're lucky, usually only happens once....and that my friend is LOVE.

Hey guys, this poem is very dear to me and so I wanted to share it with you all. My hope is that it inspires you to love, and to love purely; I hope you enjoy💛
