As I've grown, my out takes on love have changed
I used to believe that it didn't exist and that it was all a lie
Being a young soul that has always been mistreated for being you
And never felt this supposed "love"
Of course you not gonna believe what everyone seem to claim they are feeling
Divorce, people cheating, hate, anger, fights, abuse
Lies upon lies just flourishing until truth kills it
The horror around you can destroy just the little faith you had in you
Everyone's actions is going against what they taught you
All you can think about is how hypocritical can they be
Of course you are not going to follow them. It just leads to a path of destruction
And a broken heart.....
Then one day you meet that one person That tells you everything Will be OK
Of course you won't believe them because everyone else said the same thing
So you go on. Not thinking about them too much
Eventually they become close
You realize that you have never been so calm and relaxed with anyone else
Eventually the individual explains his feelings for you. And you are caught up
Your feelings just rising up and it's something you never felt before
Eventually y'all somewhat date and fall for each other
Many trials pass with family and friends.
You are hurt many times
But you fight because you love them.
You both know the truth and have faith in each other
You realize what love is.....its different from anything you ever experienced
Its a true happiness.and you feel like nothing without this person
You accept every flaw and love them unconditionally.
Even though your time together have been short,
It feels like y'all had been together forever
Like you had known him your whole life
Any time something happens, you heart hurts for that person
Sometimes even at small things.
Sometimes love happens unexpectedly and sometimes when you don't want it
You just have to takes it and ride with it
For it will be an experience of a lifetime
Even though sometimes it don't last, at least you don't regret the awesome feelings and adventures that came with it.
For it gave you a new out look on life and changed your perception of things
Sometimes you can't take what people give you but go out and get what you need for yourself
Everything happens for a reason
And love........
Love is love......you have to figure out the rest yourself 😉
