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.
