Love isn't perfect.

You may love someone, and they may still break your heart

And yet you might still love them anyway

You might love someone, that doesn't mean they won't piss you off

or hurt you

That doesn't mean you might not be angry at them

Or upset

Or feel torn up inside and like you're falling apart

Love is confusing sometimes

You hear all these fantasizes,

All these happy ever afters

They never tell you that the one you love, might get under your skin

They never tell you you won't be happy with them all the time

but that you'll still love them, sometimes even when you don't want to

They don't tell you about the arguments or fights you might have

They don't tell about making up

About breaking up and getting back together

They don't tell you about all the highs and lows

Or, well maybe they do

But some movies, some stories make love look simple

And maybe sometimes it is and sometimes it feels simple

And sometimes it feels complicated

Like you're standing on your head and like you don't know which way to turn

You will make one another angry

You will break one anther's heart

It's true

But when you love someone, you love them despite it all

When you love someone they might hurt you, they might want to make you scream

and cry, but one smile from them..and you love them anyway

And maybe you'll fall out of love with them or they'll fall out of love with you

Or maybe you never will

Maybe love last forever

Maybe it doesn't

Maybe love feels like a rainstorm

Maybe it feels like a beautiful garden

Maybe it feels icy cold

Or burning hot

Maybe you hate the way they chew their food

or the music they listen to, but you still love them

Maybe you don't get all their interest, or their quirky traits

Maybe you don't see eye to eye on all of your beliefs

But at the end of the day they're the one you think about,

The one you wanna talk to for hours on end,

Even if you were upset with them this morning.

Maybe love isn't perfect, but I'd choose real over perfect any day
