Love.
What do you think of
when I say that word?
A beautiful maiden
holding the man of her dreams.
A candlelit dinner on
a balcony.
A couple holding hands,
maybe even
sharing a kiss.
But in reality?
Love is ugly.
It is a vicious beast
that is always
where you least expect it.
A beast that can never be pinned down-
at least, not easily.
Love is a game
that is never played fairly.
It always cheats
and you almost always
lose.
Love is on every side
yet no one's side.
It can rip your beating heart
out of your chest.
It is a costly thing
to look upon the
true face of love.
Unlike the movies show
it rarely ever
saves you.
Love is the quest
that never ends.
It demands
everything from you.
Sometimes it's
the scariest emotion.
The only way to conquer it is to
face it.
Love can take many forms-
too many to count.
It is the widow
weeping over her
lost husband's grave.
It is a teenage girl,
watching and admiring
the boy she's always liked
from afar,
but Love is tearing her apart
because she knows he'll never
look in her direction.
It is the man
who meets
with his lover in secret.
He dies a little bit
each time he sees her,
knowing that she can
never be truly
his.
Be ready.
Be prepared.
It will attack you
from behind.
Be ready,
because when Cupid
hits you with his arrow,
love won't come easy.
No, you'll have to
fight for it.
The only question is,
Are You Willing To?
