Love Does Not Hurt.

I thought I should set the record straight. LOVE DOES NOT HURT. I am just so sick and tired of people saying that love hurts and love sucks and I am afraid of love. Because I will tell you right now that is NOT true.

Love does not hurt. Not being loved hurts. Rejection hurts. Wasted time hurts. Envy hurts. Needing something you cant have hurts. Lies hurt. Failing hurts. Being empty hurts. Jealousy hurts. Not sleeping because your afraid of dreams hurts. Tears hurt.  Losing something irreplaceable hurts. Feeling broken hurts. Letting go hurts. Not letting go hurts. Feeling worthless hurts. Not knowing hurts. Knowing hurts. Mistakes hurt. When a love dies… it hurts. But love? Love does not hurt.

 

Love takes people with those feelings and gives them hope. Love feels up the empty. Love is completion. Love is happiness. Love is feeling alive. Love is smiling when thinking about the special someone. Love is the irregular heartbeats someone gives you. Love is pulling the strength from the ones who love you when you can’t find it in yourself. Love is the light at the end of the tunnel. Love makes a bad day okay. Love is being vulnerable to the point where you gibe someone the power to crush you entirely but trusting them not to. That does not hurt. Love does not hurt.

This is really deep and well-thought out. The only suggestion I have is to correct a few grammar mistakes. But you are right: I guess what most people fear isn't love, but not being loved back.

This is incredibly true. Love doesn't hurt, but everything you mentioned in the first paragraph does. We have to think before we say love hurts, because it doesn't. Love is the most wonderful thing in the universe.

Great work,
