Love is both everything and nothing,
By which I mean it feels like everything you have ever wanted
And nothing like anything you have ever felt before.
Then there is the fall,
Which is really the only way to get to love.
To leap out of the safety of your comfort zone,
Into earthquake hands
That shake and tremble and will occasionally drop you,
Into the open arms of heartbreak
But you will still cling on to them as though they are the only ones you have ever known
Because even though love can be petty painful at times, it is still one of tbe most beautiful things you have ever known.
So you will trust those hands with the most fragile things you own,
Your heart
And the rest of your life.
And if love ever decides to leave you,
You are going to want to chase after it
Because from the time you were little you were taught to always follow your heart.
So as you see it slip through the cracks between the reasons that have been laid down before you,
That make completely no sense to you,
You will be tempted to follow it
But don't,
Or do.
To be honest,
It's really up to you
Because in that moment only you will know what it feels like to sit in the empty void where the earthquake hands you once called home used to be.
See in real life love is not how it is in the movies.
There are no prince charmings or maidens to save,
Just people that don't want to have to die alone.
Even though in reality a casket was designed to only hold one body.
Until death do us part,
I guess in the end we are all doomed to be apart.
Maybe that's why happy ever after is only found in fairytales
Because only in our imaginations can such a possibility be perceived as true
However I do believe at least one thing to be true.
If love was discovered to be a lie that was sold to us over the years.
I know most of us would probably still buy it.
Because love really is that beautiful.
And when you are in love there is nothing that feels more perfect than resting your entire world in the palms of earthquake hands
Because that's what love is,
The beauty found in chaos.
