Her Motives Are Silent - February 14th

Love is something that you can't control
Love is something that you can't control
It's beyond your knowledge
It's beyond your experience

Love is taking steps of faith
Or risks
It's abandoning everything you feel confident in
And totally exposing yourself to a vulnerability that destroys you
You can't experience love if you're not vulnerable
Beyond any comfort zones

Love requires a fresh canvas
Love requires a willingness to challenge yourself
So you have to disengage that selfishness in order to experience love
And that's not easy to do

It's about caring about somebody so much
That their wants and needs overpower your own
You can't go into love thinking about yourself
You can't force somebody to love you

I feel that sometimes love is more of an energy
That is passed from one person to another
To another
To another

And that when we lose that
That's why we feel so distraught
It's not because we've lost that person
But we're just drained
Gone
And until we build that up again or find that in somebody else
We just feel totally useless
But love is completely real

Yes, heartache happens
Yes, things don't go as we plan sometimes
But love is not something you're supposed to plan
It's not a formula
It's not Science
It's not Math
It's not something you can measure
It's not something you can rehearse

Love is not just romance
If you want that true, raw, real love
You have to be all or nothing
You have to want them and care about them in every aspect
And you're going to want to be that everything for them as well
You don't want to just be a portion of what they need
You want to be all they need

I think we've been lied to about love
That a person we love is supposed to complete us
I think the person you love is supposed to compliment you
Because you and me, we're complete as individuals
And I think when you find somebody who compliments you
You both walk down that road of life together
And get closer to your own goals and your own dreams
By supporting each other
And sometimes your goals and dreams will become a unified element

Because if there's no give and take
The scales are going to tip
But if it's this back and forth flow of energy it can withstand anything

Love is seeing everything in somebody, including the flaws
And still wanting to be with them
And not just wanting the good times
But wanting to be there for them in the bad times

Don't let books or movies tell you how to love
Don't let songs or celebrities tell you how to love
Just do what feels natural to you
And if you're willing to dive into something completely beyond yourself
Then I challenge you to just open your heart, open your mind
Just open your whole existence to the concept of love
