Falling in love is not your fault

People are largely mistaken on what true love really is. They think it’s a feeling. It’s not. They think it’s butterflies and obsessively thinking about that person all day long. Wrong. That’s infatuation. It’s fun, but it’s not love. Love is pain. And sacrifice, but it’s also the most beautiful thing in the world when it’s real and reciprocated. Imagine someone knowing all about you. Everything. Even the small things. The things you are embarrassed about and don’t want anyone to know. Imagine messing up, and even letting that person down. They forgive you. They are wise enough to read between the lines of the situation, and they don’t judge you for it. They love you. They even notice the small things, like that scar above your eye. You hate it, but they think it’s cute. It’s part of you. The way your eyes dart around the room when your nervous. Cute. The way you tear up when you’re at a funeral. They love your heart. Your compassion. They know you. That’s love. It’s being FULLY known, and accepted.
