love is something different.
" The truth is that
the more i n t i m a t e l y
you know someone
you know someone
the more clearly you’ll see their f l a w s
That’s just the way it is
This is why marriages fail
why children are abandoned
why friendships don’t last
You might think you love someone
until you see the way they act
when they’re out of money
or under pressure or hungry
for goodness’ sake
Love is something d i f f e r e n t
Love is choosing to s e r v e someone
and be with someone
in spite of their f i l t h y heart
Love is patient and kind
love is d e l i b e r a t e
Love is hard
Love is pain and s a c r i f i c e
it’s seeing the d a r k n e s s in another person
and
defying the i m p u l s e to jump ship."
