Love hurts, everyone knows that.
Does it mean the more you love, the more you hurt?
Or the more you think you gave, the more you hurt?
Or does it start hurting when you start calculating who did what for whom and who gave more of their heart.
But it seems not matter how you see it or when you tabulate it, there is never going to be a perfect balance.
Because love means not calculating how much you have given and how much she has given you.
Love means wanting to give and not take.
Love means feeling safe enough to open your heart and being appreciative.
Love means wanting to tell all and be accepted.
Love means compromising.
Love means encouragement.
Love means commitment.
But what if love means this to you and that to her?
What if love gives you a natural high but drops you even lower?
Does that mean you should throw the towel in and don't think about it?
Does that mean you should avoid confrontation at all costs and sweep everything under the carpet?
How long will that stand last you?
Would it last you until you find someone new?
A good friend once said she doesn't believe that someone will let go of another that she loves.
Because we are all selfish, even in love.
Is it true that if you love someone, let her go?
Or is it a convenient guise to avoid further personal pain?
Or it is one of those things people say......it's not you, it's me.
But what they really mean is, it is you, not me.
Wouldn't someone want to work hard on something they treasure?
Try to communicate?
Try to improve the situation?
Try your darnest until you can try no more.
