Why does love hurt?
Why do we hurt back...
Why always the ones we love?
What is it that we lack?
Could it be that we feel safe
Can it be that we trust too much
That the person we love the most... can carry all this stuff
Why do we give the burden of anger,
those feelings that follow astride
Why can't we let anger fall away
and be by each others side?
Why do we take each other for granted
its not fair to say the least
for because we are together
doesn't mean we don't feel grief
Why can't we let problems deal with themselves
or be able to stand out of harms way
for our emotions are what guide us...
and because of that, strife leads the way
Just hold me and tell me you love me
lets continue to walk hand in hand
and love ourselves, our family  and each other
and let the rest lay, like grains of sand.
For what we face together
Is like a test of our love each day
And i know the strength we have
now lets continue on our way
Loving each other unconditionally
being the people we want to be
as separate personalities, yet together, in unity
Let not the problems get in our way
Lets become stronger as we should
cause from the day i met you, i knew we could...

because, the ones we love are the closest to us...and people are human...they make mistakes...and cannot live up to our expectations of them...they are who they are...they mostly cannot change...or if we do..then it is because it is something we desire...love does not mean to hurt...but if someone hurts you over and over again..then it is seriously time to rethink the relationship...love is not perfect, or an angel or a knight in shining armor...and to put someone way up there, will only serve to disappoint yourself and to make them feel like they've failed you...forgive and believe and understand...none of us are perfect...we are or never will think exactly alike...and love can dissappoint as much as it can compliment....

I hope I've helped answer some questions.

thankyou for your thoughts.... these questions albeit are not ones i have necessarily felt, but have in the past....i have grown so much....i guess they are my thoughts on paper more than anything.. Love grows as does a nourished seed,  and nothing comes without work, on both parts , after all, thats what makes a partnership... It seems that everywhere i turn, there is someone hurting.. i just wish that i could help them, other than just listening...
Thank you again...*hugs*

To subjectively sum it up, I'd have to say that between the two extremes of fear and love is the pain of growth since humans seem mostly to learn from pain...

Your absolutely right Mark.  It seems we dwell on the negative rather than the positive.... Something to ponder on..
Thanks for your insight...
