The price of love means sacrificing more than you think to get what you both want. Sometimes achieving your goals takes blood. Naturally, we want to give, but when we don't benefit right away, we tend to shy away from doing this when we should. Caring for someone means making yourself vulnerable to attack. This is what makes the word "love" so hard to say, because if we do, we can get hurt. In one way or another, we will all get hurt. You just have to be brave when venturing into this territory. This road can be arduous and have many hills that we have to climb. In the end, we will be better and have some pride in ourselves for trying. Stay strong and you will prevail. Only time will tell, and it really is a game of waiting. Love is a game, and you cannot win if you do not play.
The imminent danger in falling for someone and the obvious horror to being in a relationship is losing the one you love to another. People change, and feelings sometimes become lost in translation. You may find yourself confused: you love one person and yet seek another. This is a test, a test of will. There is no right or wrong answer for you, but for the person you are with, it means so much more. If you realize this early on in the relationship, you may be able to fight those feelings, but if you ignore how your actions affect your significant other, then you may be lost already.
Love is strange. It works a magic on you that you just can't shake. Just as powerful is the illusion of love we call lust. This is a powerfully intoxicating vibe that can catch us off guard. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple acknowledgement, a simple hello, to light the fuse that leads to the big bang that can make or break us.
I have been on a ride for so long, and the rollercoaster has finally slowed down. I can say that I was caught up in a battle between love and lust, and the stakes were high. I held in there, took my blows, and succumbed to the pain. The good news is that I am still alive to speak of this.
The outcome of such dark, lonely nights of wonder, you ask? Well, even though I had my doubts and had a shattered image of myself, those sleepless nights and dark thoughts, the cold has subsided, and warm feelings have come back. Even though I spent most of those nights with my significant other, and the distance between us in our bed and our hearts felt like thousands of miles, love pulled through and overcame all to succeed.
The victory is a well-honored one, but now a new journey starts, and love must carry us there. Love is dedicated, and with a little faith, it can beat the odds.
Sincerely,
Dean "All In" Snow
