How real feels

What I once saw as real
I now know as misplaced hope
And forcing feelings that were not there.

Real isn't effortless
Real isn't head over heels.

I now know real love
It can be difficult
It has it's rollercoaster moments
It may not be rainbows and butterflies

But damn is it worth it.

Real love is two people who support each other even when struggling to support themselves

It's that moment were you hear a change in their voice and know how they feel.

It's being able to sit forehead to forehead and just feel what the other is thinking.

It's communication that is open and endless.

It's something so difficult and fragile
Yet so strong and beautiful

Real love happens when every bit of the difficult pieces of life make the bond between two people that much stronger.

When real love is found hold it.
Not too tight.
That will surely kill it.

Because in real love
There are still two individuals
Who have their own lives
But they live them next to each other
Together.

because love is all these things...not just the romantic interludes we see in movies and tv...
it isn't effortless...that is for sure.
