Real Love

by Amanda Moreau   Jun 13, 2015


Real love is not falling for your best friend
Its not marrying that man from your dreams
No
Love is when your in a crowd and your eyes are glued to that person
They've never said a thing to you but you yearn to hear their voice
You fall so quickly
Your heart attaches to someone who,s irrelevant to your life
Who will never meet you
Who will never love you

That's real love
It's quick
It's heartbreaking

Real love can't last
That's the horrific truth
We comfort ourselves through marriage or long dates

But it's not real love

The love of falling for someone who catches your eye for moment
For no particular reason
That second of infatuation
Followed by seconds of sadness
Knowing that nothing will happen because strangers are dangerous
That's real love

Marriage,dating is too safe, too secure

Real love is painful
Real love is dangerous
