What Love Really Is

Love

By Leah ClairePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Love is Thinking about old times and memories just start to flood inside your head , especially when you’re looking at pictures and watching videos and you start to remember those times that you felt alive and you were happy and now both of those feelings are gone and your still stuck in the same place you were before the person that made you the happiest came into your life but the person hasn’t left it just feels like they have. I don’t understand what it is about pushing people away and not being able to get them pull them back in. I wonder when the happiness leaves the picture where does it go and why the arguments just start to grow. I don’t understand why we have a fight-or-fight response to love and why were so scared of getting hurt because that person could be the best thing for us but our brain, or our heart just won’t agree , when one says to stay and the other says to go or it’s reversed on most days and you see a battle inside you but you can fight it but just not get hurt. You see people are made of glass and once glass breaks it can only be put back together gently or you will get cut and then there is missing pieces that you have to take from yourself and give to them and I guess that’s what love really is. Love is a chain of people giving someone the pieces they need and searching for someone to fill them because the truth be told not everyone stays after getting what they need but if you’re lucky , they will.
