I am not an expect when it comes to love, thats why i'm just gonna speak about you and me.
There is no we without double-you and me on the opposite spectrum.
They say three times a charm, hence, mind , soul and body.
You and I seem to be paralled by a dilemma between us.
Honestly I want to be honest,
With you however honesty will hurt but at times hurt does bring healing.

I don't say I love you, not that I don't however I would be lying because I don't know what love is anymore.
I don't say I love you, just to bring you pain but I know the pain when you realise it has been used in vein.
I don't say I love you, not that I hate you but love has hurt you and me.
I don't say I love you, not that I am a player but I want our own little play of love to bring meaning to the words.
I don't say I love you, not that I have pride however for pride to be silenced by the noise of our trust.
I don't say I love you, not that I want you to be unhappy but for us to be happy inlove.

The honesty of it is that love hurts more than a thorn in your heel,
Hurts more than a broken rib,
Hurts more than any scar.
See, love hurts so bad that we build fortknox walls to protect ourselves,
But the people brought by life into our lives knock our walls down and leave us with insecurities.

That is the reality.
In reality we miss each other that we give each other headaches,
And the headaches at times, make us not even stand the thought of one another,
Yet the very thought of each other brings joyful happiness to one another.
See, reality is tricky because reality is life.
At times in reality you cannot stand being together , And,
At times at the same time cannot stand being apart.

That's where understanding is needed.
In reality we have all been hurt and have scars as evidence to prove it.
But the trick is, in reality
You cannot exhibit those scars to prove insecurity, dishonesty, lack of understanding, pain, hurt, love.
The reality of it is that you can only prove life with them.

And life itself is full of life,
That's the reality of it and not wishful thinking.
However being wishful and thinking are part of life,
Meaning you are living in reality,
So you and I being alive also in thought,
Also in emotion cannot help being wishful of love as we are human afterall.
Wishes that pain is eliminated by love always,
That all disappointment is eliminated by love,
Love eliminates all.
Wishing that all can witness us happy inlove.
Wishing that there can only be smiles not frowns.
Wishing only for laughters not cries.
Wishing for pleasures not troubles.
Wishing for real love and hoping for honesty.
To be honest,
For us to wish-away the reality and not accept life as living,
are killing love itself.
