The paradox of love

It is weird. We are all looking for love, we are longing to fall in love madly, unconditionally, for ever. We are dreaming about it day and night. We wish for it secretly or openly.
But when love is finally knocking on our door, when it enters our home, when it is here, right in front of us, we do not know what to do with it.
We do not know how to love.
We are afraid even to say the word love.
We say all kind of words, we speak them out loud but "love" is the hardest of all. We whisper it.....in such a way that we can barely hear it.
It is only then, that I realized that love means guts.
You must be brave to love. You must be brave to accept love.
You must be strong to truly feel love. Strong and open.
Not to visualize the ideal love form from a safety distance. But to be there, to fight for it, to work on it, to keep the sparkle alive no matter what, under any circumstances and conditions. You must not be selfish .Love is all about priorities. And in love, priority is a real great life together! Good night, i love you xxx
