Honest "Love"

People search for what they call “love”

but is that what they really want?

They believe love is kind

simple

gentle

easy;

but that's not what love is.

Love is work.

Love is compromise.

Love is letting him choose what side of the bed he prefers.

Love is letting her choose the car you'll share.

Love is learning to deal with each others' quirks and eccentricities.

Love is hard.

Love is staying up all night wishing you could hear her voice.

Love is balancing your time between him and friends.

Love is learning that people will never be exactly what you want them to be.

Love is accepting them regardless.

Love is work.

Love is hard.

But love is worth it.
