Love (Part 1)

          Love is not supposed to feel like pain. Like there is a stone rammed so hard inside your chest that even breathing hurts. Love is not supposed to break you into a thousand pieces at night. Only to meet you in the morning and break you more. Or make you feel like everything in your life is over and you have now here to go. Like those nights when you will do anything to stop hurting, to make it all go away. Love is not supposed to make you feel worthless. No.

          Love is supposed to build you, you should grow with the person that you love - Not diminish. Love should not kill your soul but fill you with life. Love is not supposed to feel like you have daggers twisting in your heart and tears as proof on your cheeks. No. Love is supposed to   feel like the wind that allows you to fly. Love is supposed to soften you, not turn you into stone. Love is supposed to show you that you are worth everything, not nothing. No. It is not love if all it ever does is cause you pain. I refuse to believe that.

          You are not supposed to love someone so much that it hurts - you just aren't. Think about it - if you were then no one would want to fall in love . Love is not hurt, it is the kind of balm that fills you with so much tenderness that you learn to live again. That is what love is. That is what love always is.
