"They say the first is the love that feels right; the second is the love that hurts the most; and the third... Well the third is the love; that kinda love lasts forever."
The first love is when we are young, innocent puppy love that's busting with such passion- like you'd see on the big screens of Hollywood. It feels like floating, like being in a fairy tale that we read as children. Where nothing can go wrong. It's the love that appeals to what we should be doing for society's sake and what our families would like. We don't care if it doesn't quite feel right, or if we have to swallow some of our personal feelings we don't want to share because we believe this is how love should feel, how I should be, how love should be. You'll race back to each other because being apart feels like torture and it seems like nothing bad could ever happen. But as time goes on, things don't seem right anymore. What made you laugh and smile now makes you annoyed and angry. You'll remember the fights, but not what it was about. Until one day it becomes too hard and the final tear happens and they rip you're heart out of your chest.
The second love is the hardest; but teaches you the most about yourself. The one that hurts the most and opens our eyes. You'll probably meet them through a friend or maybe at a party? Things start slow because you're scared to face love again- not after that last breakup. You barely made it through that one. It teaches us lessons about who we are and how often we think we should be loved. This kind of love hurts, either through lies, pain, or manipulation. We feel like we will do things different then our first love, making different choices and going down different paths that might not feel right but we hold on to it. Maybe this is how love should be? Tough and rough. We keep coming back to each other, even if it's unhealthy or unbalanced. It's a roller coaster of emotions; like a junkie trying to get a fix. But we stick with it because we hate the lows but crave the highs and the rush. It's the love we wish was right. This is the love that'll make you take a break from loving someone else and focus on loving yourself.
The third love, we never see coming. It looks and feels wrong and we try to run away from it. Because it works so well, it fits like a missing puzzle piece and destroys the notion of what we think love should look like. It's so easy it doesn't seem possible; there's no pressure to become someone we aren't, or any ideal expectations of how each person should act. They simply accept us for who we already are and who we will become. It shakes us to our core because it isn't what we envisioned our love to look like. It doesn't abide by any rules and shatters all the preconceived notions we thought love would look or feel like. This is the love that last. And it's the love you'll spend the rest of your life with. It teaches you how to feel love again, and how to give it back. It'll make the world seem a little brighter and less chaotic.
You are in full control of your choices. Your destiny. Your fate. The paths you choose to go down and the ones you steer clear off.
You can stay with the first because it feels like fairy tale.
You can stay with the second because you feel comfortable.
Or you can believe in the third love and how powerful and how amazing it really is.
