You love me. How simple that sounds and seems and it is, while at the same time it's not. It is hard when you love, to truly love the person and not the ilusion, not the idea you've made up wearing their face clothed in the expectations you have of them.    


Accepting and embracing imperfection, making forgiveness a permanent room in your heart, having the courage to walk in a person's light as well as his darkness, all those things are not easy.

Having your dream of them die is not easy, and yet it must in order to truly love for people are meant to be loved as wholes not just as the pieces of them we adore. People are meant to be loved fully, with forgiveness and abounding grace, for love is the closest thing to the divine that we will ever embrace.
