We don't love.

We love the idea of love.

We want that feeling of being wanted,

The feeling of flirting and playfulness.

Love is really about giving yourself for someone else.

Pouring yourself out more than you ever have.

No,

Love is more than the pictures that your peers post.

Love is about letting go of yourself.

We don't love.

We love the idea of love.

The love that everyone puts out on the cover.

The love that looks like smiles and kisses.

The love that the person you love is loyal to you and only you.

The love that makes you feel as though you are flying.

The love that is perfect.

We don't love.

We love the idea of love.
