Love can be a pain in the ass sometimes, though most of us might see it as the very thing that would give life its profound meaning. Some might consider it bliss. Others might see it as a painstaking agony. You see, love don’t just end by loving. Thus, it’s just the start of such a risk taking journey.


Like any of us, we all desire to be loved, to be appreciated and be longed for. Who the hell wouldn’t like that anyway?! Practically speaking, that’s basically what we expect it to bring us. But sadly, that's not the case always.


Time will come in your life that you would decide to actually love someone. Someone you would most probably think good enough to stand by your side till the last breath you’d puff out in this life. By then, I bet you would do everything it would actually cost you just to have your relationship going. You would enjoy every bit of moment you would have with this someone who you knew won’t do anything to let you down. You’d count on the word he or she may have uttered, that he or she won’t ever leave you and that he or she promises to unceasingly love you for the rest of your life. You’d have stronghold of that promise which would actually urge you to give and give even more. You’d end up being so selfless that you would actually tend to sacrifice moreso surrender much of yourself to that other person. But what if that person suddenly changes his or her mind? He or she might just tell you that he or she may have just fallen out of love. That he or she had just gone tired of everything. That he or she may have just gotten fed up with everything. That the spark the person may have felt before may have just gone out. How worse could it ever get?! By then, I believe you’d start crying. Crying over the good times, the old memories you’ve worked for every second of your life just to preserve and nurture. Crying over the loss of that person you’ve entrusted much of your life with. Crying over that broken promise which just made a big fool out of you, leaving you buried in a grave you, yourself have made. Would you then still consider love as a gift from God?! Would you still think that love is fair enough to take your chances with? And worse, would you even believe in the word LOVE per se?!


Come to think of it, love can make or break you. It could bring out the best or worst in you. And thus, it could give or take away that preciously indispensable life from YOU!
