Before You Say It...

Love is not perfect…

Two people may be 

‘perfect for each other’...

But, love, itself, isn’t.

It doesn’t come easy. 

It comes with struggles, 

challenges, feats, etc...

But mostly...it comes with ‘fear’.

Fear of losing that ONE person

that means the world to you...

The one you can’t, or, don’t 

want to live without.

And the thought of losing that person

scares the hell out of you. 

If it doesn’t… 

Then, it isn’t love.

Loyalty, Honesty, Respect, Trust, 

and, above all, Commitment...

are the foundation in which true relationships,

and, true love are built.

And, nothing, and, no one can ever

break through that.

If someone, or, something does?

Then someone opened that door...

Because, if not...,

‘solidity’ will always prevail!

To have, and, to experience ‘true’ love...

One must first be ‘capable‘ of it...and,

be willing to ‘go the distance’.

So, before you say

‘I love you’ to someone...

Make sure you possess

the ‘tools and requirements’ to

back up the words...and,

the ‘endurance’ to persevere.
