turning the knife inside yourself tonight queen?

the truth is that no one ever tells you about the flip side of love. that once you find “the one” you’ll hurt each other. and each time you do, you have decide if it’s a hurt you can get over and move on from or not. and if you move on from that hurt then you’ll get hurt again

eventually.

and as much as you’ll see the best in each other, you’ll see the worst in them and they in you. you’ll use it to hurt them and judge them. they’ll tell you all of your fears will come true and you’ll tell them they’re stubborn and selfish and they’ll believe you. and all this continues again and again until it ends unless it doesn’t.

and y ruthfully you can go on like that forever. most people do. most of us would rather be unsatisfied than be alone. and actually the longer i’m in a relationship the more i think the answer to “how do you know when your in love” is that “you never do”. there is no special feeling. there are no real markers for love and what it looks like. you either continue to choose “the one” or you don’t.

maybe you don’t know you’re in love until your 92 and your wife of 70 years dies before you and everything you’ve ever faught about doesn’t matter anymore because you would rather die with her than be without her.

you’d choose her over life.

i think maybe that’s when you’d know you’re in love.
