This is not what Love is

Love is not deciding to stay quiet just so that he does not say you complain too much,

Love is not kissing up to him so that he does not fall out of love with you

Love is not supposed to be immature, jealousy is normal, but do not let that jealousy make you make assumptions,

Love is not belittling, if they make you feel like you are not enough, then take it as a sign that to them they only want you when you are a full moon, but get bored when you are not complete,

Love is not suppose to feel like you are an option, do not allow someone to treat you like you only matter when they are lonely,

Love is not about portraying this fake image that the relationship has zero flaws, do not forget that not every relationship is beautiful all the time,

A relationship without flaws, is a boring relationship,

Because love can still have its flaws and at the same time not make you feel like you are worthless,

Love is real even when the relationship ends, because true love does not disappear despite two people deciding to go their separate ways.

Love is not hate.
