Unnatural

We like to believe that love comes naturally. We like to believe that when we see couples holding hands or kissing, it's effortless and their love is instinctual.

But, love doesn't always come naturally. And, love certainly isn't always easy. Maybe attraction is natural. But, love requires attention. It requires care. It requires therapy. Sometimes, we have to work at love because without that work, it dies. Sometimes, it's a homicide killed by the insensitivity of another who walks on the scene and seduces our significant other. Sometimes, it's a patricide, as love has been our king and we have worshipped it, only to have it fall from grace tragically. Sometimes, it is a suicide and we kill it through selfish actions. And, sometimes, most times, without work, it simply withers away.


Love freely,
