Real Love…
Is not always making someone happy
because how many of us know, that what makes us happy,
is not always what’s best.
Real Love
Is doing what is best for someone.
When you love someone with real love—
you aren’t worried about offending them.
Real Love…
Is telling a child that they can’t have all the candy in the world.
Sure they may be mad at first,
and maybe they’ll think you hate them.
But you know that it is for their benefit.
Because…
You know what it was like to be a child, and you know
that all the the candy in the world,
as good as it might sound to a child, has it’s consequences…
like some serious dental issues.
Real Love…
Is calling someone out when they are making
destructive
or
harmful decisions.
Because you don’t want them to hurt.
Real Love is…
Misunderstood.
I typed this real love poem to share my thoughts on the concept of love, as well as my beliefs on what true love actually is. I think it is a common misconception in today’s society that love is simply this fleeting feeling we have with certain people from time to time, when in reality I truly believe that real love is an action, and that action involves doing what is best for other people. I decided to write this poem just to get my thoughts out in order to express my feelings and beliefs in some written way. I am very grateful for this platform we have been able to use in order to share our thoughts, and I feel as though it has been very beneficial to me.
