Real Love

by anivelaidan

Love wasn't how I imagined it was. Love wasn't like those romance books I read. Love is complicated but trying. Love wasn't all happiness and butterflies. Love is sometimes fighting, wanting to run away but knowing everything is still better when standing by their side. Love didn't mean you won't ever be alone again. Love is sometimes lonely, lying in your own bed, willing time to go faster. Love is sometimes being alone because you know you can't ask them to be there with you all the time. Love didn't cure my sadness. Love comforted it. Love is trying to understand and understanding even when it's breaking your heart. Love wasn't easy. Love is hard. Love isn't what I wanted, but love is enough. Love cares. Love loves. Love isn't perfect but it is still beautiful.
