We say love is a virtue.
We say love opens your life up to possibilities not known to you before.
We also say love is blind.
Love is a necessity,
Love is uncharacteristically pure,
Love shouldn't hurt,
Love should be nice,
Love shouldn't scream,
Love shouldn't hit,
Love shouldn't leave me.
Or maybe love should.
Love left dirt where there should have been a flower.
Love left me in the rain when I should have been basking in the sun.
Love took half of my heart and left me behind.
When love finally came back, I turned him away at the door.
