Hello, Love Sucks, how are you?

Love is like a drug

I get why people compare love to drugs now. When I was younger I used to think down on people who used phrases like that. If love is so profound then why put it next to something as  disgraceful as drugs? But now I understand. It's not the substance, it's the addiction they compare it to. The sheer knowing that what you're doing is harming you, yet willingly continuing. It can hurt worse than anything you've ever known when it's over, but you still love in that moment because of the thrill. The all encompassing feeling of safety and danger at the same time. When you have an addiction it's said that you feel as if you physically can't function without the drugs and well I get that too. I get it because I need him. I thought he needed me to. I guess the thing with that is I'm addicted and he's just smoking for fun.
