Sometimes I sit and wonder why I deserve someone like you
Someone who loves me through my imperfections and sees past my many faults
Someone who not only saw me then, but sees me now, and wants to see me forevermore
Someone who can make me smile, make me laugh, make me cry, make me second guess the real meaning of love
Love: a passionate feeling or emotion for another person
I disagree
Love to me is not a feeling and not an emotion
It's a choice
A choice of whether or not you are willing to push through
Push through the ups and down
Push through the arguments and fights
Push through the time away from each other
Push through the imperfections
Just push through
Love is also letting go
Letting go of the past relationships
Letting go of the hurts and pains of previous people
Letting go of the lies
Letting go of the tears
Letting go of yourself
Letting go and being able to know that when you let go
Someone will be right there behind you to catch you
To break your fall and lift you up
You see love is a very complicated thing
Thing? No choice.
The choice of whether you're gonna open up
And if you do,
What's next?
