Love is not just the romance..

It's the dirty stuff... It's the sweat and tears... It's digging in and doing the work.. Even when it's less painful and easier just to walk away..

Love is telling the truth even when you know it's going to rip someones heart out.. It's talking and talking and talking and talking... It's going over something till everything is clear.. Until you honestly know what is going on with that other person.. What triggered a response, why did that fight happen, why is that a boundry... Love is learning your partner inside in out..

Because Love is about trust... To trust someone fully, you have to know who they are inside.. You have to know.. This is a truth.. I can depend on this.. I can rely on this..

You build love... layer on layer.. the more work you put into it, the deeper, richer it becomes..

Love isn't fantasy land.. It' not a trip to disneyland... That's easy...

Love is coming home from that trip to a backed up septic tank, and the furnace not kicking off... Hard work, sometimes ugly.. oh but the reward is so very sweet...
