Don’t tell me stories of pure love

Don’t tell me stories of selfless love, pure love, of love being enough.

That’s not what real life is made of.

Tell me the stories of limitations of love

Love that doesn’t feed your soul

Inadequacies of love

Turmoiled relationships

Of ego triumping love

Of not finding time to love as life happens

Of flawed people

Falling in love with flawed people

Rediscovering love with the same person

Re-understanding love

Love disappearing on you and then showing up again

About confessions of love falling on deaf ears

Love pulling people back together

About letting love be.
