The Beautiful and Ugly side of love

I'm not sure what to call this.

L-o-v-e are four simple letters of the alphabet thrown together to form the powerful word “Love." I never believed the word “Love” was a powerful word from the look of it, but its powerful believe me. I know because I’ve loved and lost, and I feel that all of you who have lost love know that there is a beautiful, and yet ugly side of love.

To fully understand love, you have to give yourself whole heartedly to someone, let them make the choice of what you do, I know you’re saying that’s not love, but it is, it is the real love. When you are in a relationship that is what you do, you give yourself to another person not bits, and pieces, but when you’re in a real relationship you give it your all, and then some more not fragments. You let another person in on something, something no other soul on earth knows about “You”, you give another person a small yet still big piece of your soul, trusting him or her to take care of it.

Now before I mentioned that love had a beautiful and ugly side, it is always best to go with the beauty instead of the ugly first. When reciprocated love makes you feel all tingly from head to toe then back again, love fills you up when you are hungry from a days work. Love will make something ugly into a work of art, it will make a rainy day beautiful and sunny, and love will somehow make the world though flawed seem right, give clarity when your head is stuck in the clouds, love is wonderful, but yes you know there is a bad side “insert Lightning crackle and scary music.”

Love’s ugly side is just as powerful as the beautiful side, but a little twisted. When two people enter in a relationship and seemingly really love one another then one deems it necessary to leave the relationship; it leaves a hole in the person they were with, a deep gaping hole that can not be filled by another person, that is if the love in the relationship was real love. Love will make you do stupid things, become jealous, and make you selfish blind you to all of these things as well.

When you enter a relationship it is nice, sweet, and beautiful for I would say...three months if you are lucky, then after that third month it dawns on you how other people are looking for someone like your mate it makes you paranoid. You start thinking someone will come along and take that someone you found. This is ridiculous in most cases but my point is love can change you sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. I believe that it takes a strong person to weather the storm love creates at least that is what I believe.

When you love someone, it is like talking and not paying attention, going in one ear and out the other, how you come out depends on the person you choose to give your heart. People have many ideals on what love is and how it affects you, it has affected me in many ways some good, and some bad. I am one of the many wounded soldiers in this war with love still willing to step on the battlefield.
