The Truth About Love

It's funny how things fall into place,
it's funny how things change
How we become who we've always dreamed of,
or who we'd never imagine.

Love is a strange thing
They say love hurts,
love stinks,
and love does not forgive.
But that isn't true
Love is forgiving
and time allows us to heal our heavy hearts.
Falling in love is beautiful
and the experience is a rush.

But eventually,
we lose sight of who we are or once were.
Love changes us,
marriage causes us to sacrifice more than we should.
Divorce, loss, and heartbreak make us bitter.
And it becomes harder each day,
to accept the principles and possibilities
that happiness in love can bring.

We forget how a person can blossom and heal,
just because they have a special someone,
to guide them along.
We forget how falling in love is not only a journey,
but a wonderful experience.
The feelings,
the butterflies,
the dates,
getting to know each other,
and finding yourself in new ways,
ways we never expected.

Love has it's up's and down's,
pro's and con's,
but one thing is for sure.
Through it all, love makes life beautiful
and love is rewarding.
We just need to remember that
and stopping searching for a deeper meaning,
when love is just that simple.
