Love?

Have you ever been in love? Truly in love?

Have you ever been in love? Truly in love?

Have you ever been in love? Truly in love?

That even if how much you're hurting, you still do your best to keep the fire burning. You remain deaf with all other people's advice. You've always been deaf. Every time you say "it's okay" in every quarrel, the tears starts to rain from your tired eyes. 

Have you ever been in love? Truly in love?

That even if he still thinks and mourns about his past, you stayed and helped him heal. Even if it's hurting you, you're still there for him because you know he needs you. And you keep on helping him until the fire in you stops burning.  You set aside your pain for another. You do all these things, for love. For love.
