It strikes the strongest of mind, And brings them to their knees in one blow. Even in the best of times, love hurts. It hurts to need, it hurts to belong, It hurts to be the other part of someone else, Without either of your consent. But, it's in the total surrender of all defense, That we, no matter weak or strong, No matter willing or captive, No matter what, we truly experience love. Despite the many things love is not, Outweighing it all are the things that love is.
Love is surrender without a loss.
It is a gift without the cost. No matter the outcome, having felt love, You will never be the same. Or, it may cause every day of your life To feel like there is no need for tomorrow. But, love is worth it. For in all of life, Love is truly the only risk worth taking.
