Five Minute Writing Challenge: Love

Hey Creepy Stalkers! ^.^

So I'm going through some stuff right now and I really need to get it out of my system. Montiee gave me this noun, verb thing to write about so that I can do that, because, "You really need this." So, here I am, going to write about love. Yeah, seems slightly silly, but you know, here's the question: What is love? How do you know if you're in love? So, here's dedicated to Tyler. Although I really hope he doesn't see this.

What is love? How do you know if you're feeling love? I ask myself the same questions all the time, but not more than I have at this point in my life so far. I've been having some issues, and I've been trying to answer these questions so as to solve my issues. I've concluded that love isn't something that's permanent. It can come and it can leave. Also, there's no real way that you can tell you're in love, you just know.

This poses a problem for me. What if that love goes away, yet I'm still in a relationship? Or, what if I have love for two people? I have the same feelings for both of them. What do I do? Well, I think there isn't a strict answer to that. Talking helps, especially when it's to someone you trust. I chose to confide in my best friend, and of course he was one of those people I felt a strong liking for. That made it slightly harder... actually a lot harder for me to let it out. Last minute, I found the courage I needed to speak my mind, and after I started I couldn't stop.

Love is a strange thing. It comes with it's highs and lows. If you fall in love with someone who will never feel the same, or someone who can't morally reciprocate their feelings towards you, then love can hurt. My friend always said that love hurts, no matter what you do, and I've come to realize that his saying may be true, but it can lead to greater friendships and a wiser you. So, although I can't specify exactly what love is, or what it holds for me, I can do my best to make the right decisions.
