Love is…unprecedented. Scary. Terrifying even. How could you not be afraid to give all of yourself- your mind to another person. A broken heart is more than literary. But love is more than a confession. Love is worrying about them- when you haven’t talked in days, weeks even. Thinking about them because every little thing brings them to mind- where are you at? Are you okay? I hope that even though I’m lonely, you are having fun, you are safe. Know that you are loved. Maybe they were even right when they said Love is pain. But- love is also joy. Love can bring a smile to your face even knowing that you were a passing thought in their mind. Joy because finding someone you don’t have to put up a façade for is a miracle- Love feels like magic. Love is magic- and for the cynics who don’t believe in magic- maybe they don’t understand. It’s more than chemistry in the brain- more than simple endorphins. I believe that- I have felt that. And it hurts- but it’s worth it- even though a future broken heart is practically guaranteed. Love is worth it. And that’s all that really matters in the end.
Written before the broken guarantee...but I still believe it.
