Unconditional, understanding, and selfless, are just a few of the things love is supposed to be. Easy to get into but not so easy to maintain or fall out of. I see a lot of married people, or people that have been together for so long and I wonder about all the sacrifices they have had to make for each other. Paths changed, doors closed, opportunities missed out on, I look and wonder "What is so special about love? And why would you do things you wouldn't normally do just to make the other person happy, or to keep them safe?"
If you ask around no one can really define what true love is, at least true unconditional love. Sure they are things that contribute to love, like certain traits, or looks, or qualities, but then if those are all the basis does it really mean the love is unconditional? Will you stay if the looks were to vanish? Those are the type of questions I ask myself. But then with true love all that doesn't really matter. With true love, there's just this urge to want to be there for that person no matter what, to want to put a smile on their face every day and never see them sad. There are days when the person will get under your skin and annoy you, but you just let it slide and sometimes even start to enjoy it.
Writing this was a bit hard, It's safe to say that is majorly because I'm not a love type of person. As a result, I don't see any single person that ticks all of these boxes for me at the moment, but there are a large group of people who do, and that is my family.
They get on my nerves almost every day, but even upon that, I would still do anything in my power to make them happy. I have no explanation for why I do the things I do for them but I just keep doing them. And that smile it puts on their face is reward enough for me.
I'm sure they love me too because they have done some things for me that I'm sure can only be love. Can't explain what it is, but love is wonderful.
