This is Love

Sometimes, a lot of times..
I feel lonely.

Having cut away friendships that no longer serve me, was the hardest, IS the hardest thing
I've had to do.

I realized that love is a connection,
that does not always last.

Scarleo and I used to be madly in love,
but something changed. He was unhappy with himself.

Jeofrey and I used to be deeply in love,
but things changed. He was unhappy with
himself.

In both cases, this connection needed communication.
In both cases, no one knew how to do this.

Those boys were so mean to me.
I know I am no perfect being, nor will I ever be.
But I tried to love them through the hardships,
as well as love myself.

And they both still left.

What is Love?

Staying even though it's hard at times,
enduring the crap life throws,
communicating to your partner if you're having a hard time.
Listening to your partner when they need to be heard.
Sacrificing without thinking twice
to help your love.

I am Love. I have been madly in love with the world
and all it has to offer me.
Especially people. Understanding them,
hearing their stories and simply listening.
Thinking good things of them,
believing they can do better for themselves
if they so choose.

I am Love. And I deserve love.
I am open to receive love,
and everyone around me deserves love.
I am selfish for having thought otherwise.

Loving from afar is necessary sometimes,
when the people we love hurt us.
