love is not hurt, expectation is.

there are so many definitions of love every person has its own meaning. and some people say love is hurt and i don’t understand why? i’m not against those who say love is hurt because just like what i’ve said, every person has its own meaning.

in my opinion, i think love is a sacred feeling and that’s the reason why we still exist and the reason why we live for it. 

    a conversation

“why we get hurt when our intention is to love someone?” she asks

“but you know that love isn’t hurt, right?” she stares at me; 

“love isn’t hurt. loneliness is. expectations too. isn’t it happy when you give love to someone without expecting anything back? isn’t it happy when we give love to someone just because that’s what we want? you get hurt because of expectations—and you should stop doing that.” I say.

for me, love isn’t hurt, but the expectation is. Some people fell in love with a person suddenly, i think just because of their looks, attitudes, or attention. sometimes these people can’t control themselves; they tend to do something weird to make her/him impressed and i think just because they want something in return. and if he/she can’t repay back, those people who make effort feel broken, sad, unfair, and that’s the saddest part of loving, their expectations. 

isn’t it happy to love someone because that’s what we want? isn’t happy to love someone without expecting anything back? continue to share your love without expecting something in return, because expectations can hurt you, a lot. give your love willingly to those who deserve it.

i presume that you deserve the love you gave, but if the person you love can’t give you in return, you should still be happy, because the important is you feel in love, and you learn how to wait. perhaps someday, there’s the only one person who can love you most, and accept you who you really are.
