Chosen poem:

love will come

and when love comes

love will hold you

love will call your name

and you will melt

sometimes though

love will hurt you but

love will never mean to

love will play no games

cause love knows life

has been hard enough already

The poem I chose made me think about how love can hurt, even though it doesn’t mean anything, and how hard our life is and having someone to love and love us also makes things easier or lighter, at least. And when this love hurts us, we need to understand that it no longer serves us and we must let go, because this is also love, even if it is not easy. 

So, I remembered a video I saved on Instagram that says exactly that.

This is the video:

Love could not hurt

He’s beautiful

Slow down

Sometimes overwhelming

Let you dream

And it makes you want to dream

Is an immense happiness

Intense!

Is so intense

that can suffocate you

Can tighten

Hurt

Bleed

And slip through the eyes

Can turn you inside out

Can be good 

Or be bad

It’s not always bad

But whenever it does harm

It’s time to let go

It’s time to dream alone

And be happy alone

With all the self-love in the world.
