Love is a funny thing. In one instance you can be madly, truly, wonderfully in love with someone and the next instance you can wake up and realise that it was all an illusion. The truth hits you. You didn't really love them at all.
We spend so muc of our livies searching for that one true love, sometimes without realising that it was right in front of us. Then there are some of us that spend the rest of our lives trying to run away from that love.
Love can be heaven and hell. When you first realise that you're in love with someone you feel like you are walking on air and never going to come down. You walk around in a daze, with this stupid grin on your face. You truly believe that nothing can bring you down to earth. That's heaven.
Hell, is when the world comes crashing down around you. It's when you realise the person you love passionately - with every utter aspect of your body, mind and soul doesn't love you. Hell is when you realise the person who you love has cheated on you or wronged you in a way that seems utterly irrepairable.
Hell is when you fight so strongly and passionately with each other that you draw blood with your words. It's knowing once those cutting words are out, there is no taking them back.
Heaven and hell go hand in hand with love. You can't have one without the other. Fairytales simply do not happen. Love can be happily ever after, but the road is rarely ever smooth. We always say that we want the fairytale. We want everything to be perfect but deep down inside we don't.
What is love without conflict? What is passion without heartache and tears?
A love like that would simply be boring.
Love was meant to be passionate. That means we were meant to fight with one another, we were meant to draw blood. We were meant to feel pain.
To feel that kind of pain, is to know that your love is alive and strong.
And without those tears, those harsh words, there would be no joy in making up.
There would be no drying of the tears, no roses, no begging for forgiveness. No makeup sex.
Many people walk through this world without really appreciating love and what it brings you. It doesn't just bring you that special someone to share your life with. It also brings you independence, strength, support and opens your eyes up to a new world around you.
Some people are afraid to love - afraid that they will end up heartbroken. They build walls around themselves and their hearts, determined to never let anyone in. And when the slightest chance comes along that someone may be creeping into their hearts, they put up higher walls and walk away. They would rather play it safe than risk everything.
There are those who fall in love with the idea of being in love. It doesn't matter who they fall in love just as long as they are in love. It's like a drug to them. They crave it and they don't feel complete without it. So certain are they that if they don't have someone in their life, they will not survive. The problem with these people is that they wouldn't know the real thing if it hit them in the face. They spend most of their lives falling in and out of what they assume is love. They become obsessed with finding someone to fill the void and never think about the consequences. In reality, they have no concept as to what it really means to be in love.
Love is beautiful. It can be the best thing that has ever happened and it can be the worst. It can fill your heart with joy, and in one split second it can shatter it.
It is brutal. It will chew you up and spit you out.
But the old adage saying, "It is better to have lost and loved, than to have never loved at all" is still the truest.
Though the feelings from a lost love cut deep, time can heal those wounds.
Never experiencing love is never living at all.
The simple fact is that no one really sees things quite as beautifully, as they do when they are in love.
