The Irony of Love

Info


               If you argue with them, you're looking for a fight; but if you're quiet, they'll say you don't care. If you call them, you're too clingy; but if they call you, you should drop what you're doing and be happy they called at all. If you don't love them, they'll try to win you over; but when you do love them, they'll end up taking you for granted. If you talk about your problems, they'll tell you to stop complaining about everything; but if you don't, they'll say you don't trust them. If you offer advice, you're a nag or a know-it-all; but if they offer advice, it's because "they care". If you break a promise, they'll never trust you again; but if they break one, it's because they had no choice and you need to be more understanding. If you cheat, it's over; but if they cheat, it was just a mistake and you have to give them another chance.

             Damn it. Unfair people, fake world. Is it so hard to just meet SOMEONE you love halfway...without judgement, or is Love just really like this way?

You got a point there yunichii. That usually happens. :(

Wow Carol! This is amazing! This is real. Beautifully expressed. Simple yet engaging. :)

Love, I believe is not fake. The person is. Love is a feeling devoid of lie, fake or betrayal, but it is synonym to pain, isn't it? I think love in itself is pure. It depends on the person who emotes love and how!
I definitely agree with you Deeksha. Love is pure and kind; Lovers are not. haha :D
