i used to believe
that the best type of love
was the type that made you
laugh
cry
smile
scream
and feel every emotion at once
now i know that love isn't supposed to hurt
it isn't supposed to make you feel as if you are less than whole
or fucked up in some way
love is supposed to make you feel the good harder
and the bad a little softer.
