Author's Note to Readers: I want to say thank you to my Grandma and Uncle for giving me advice and helping me with a few things on this one. I hope y'all like it!


Love is not some perfect and clean thing people make it out to be.
Those movies and books,
where it's such a joyful and bright feeling all the time,
most of the time it's not like that.

Love is flawed but beautiful,
Love is clumsy but graceful,
Love is selfish but selfless,
Love is tough but worth it,
Love is blind but has a full vision,
Love is hard to find but lasts a lifetime. . .

Love won't always trust you,
but it will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Love won't always spoil you,
but it will care for you.

Love won't always apologize to you,
but it will take your pain from you.

Love won't always stand by you,
but it will never abandon you.

Love not always smile and laugh with you,
but it will sympathize with you.

Love won't always believe in you,
but it will see the flame in you.

Love won't always protect you,
but it will watch over you.

Love won't always keep a broken heart from you,
but it will heal the heart that broke you.

Love won't always want you,
but it will always need you. . .


What is Love?- Something with a great power, but isn't always recognizable, and it's not always perfect and clean.
