Better to have loved....

Fall in love they said 

It’ll be great they said  

But no one ever tells you about the things that aren’t great

No one ever tells you that some days you’ll want to punch your significant other in the throat or even in the face. 

Some days you’ll want to poke them in the eyes in their sleep. 

Or some days you’ll ask yourself why did you choose them? 

It’s usually after they do some stupid shit like drop pizza on your white sheets.

No one ever tells you that it’s okay to fight,

A fight doesn’t mean it’s over. 

Sometimes it’s a good thing.

No one ever tells you that some days you won’t want to talk to each other,

It’s okay, sometimes you need space.

No ever tells you to fully commit, put your fears aside and just love 

They always say be careful, you can’t trust anyone you know.

So you keep your guard up. 

No one ever tells you that it’s okay to not be all over social media. 

It doesn’t mean he isn’t claiming you, it doesn’t really mean anything. 

No one ever tells you that you sometimes have to put your significant other before your friends, 

Yeah they’ll be there forever, but for now, he’s the one you need to lean on. 

No one ever tells you that one day you’ll learn that love is not always enough 

Or that you may one day fall out of love. 

But what they say is true, it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
