I don't think true love is always feeling flutters around someone. I don't think true love is staying strong all the time. I don't think true love is at first sight. I don't think true love is this magical thing that everyone can see.

I think true love is wishing, BEGGING the gods that be, that you could leave. I think true love is suffering day after day and wishing there was some alternative. I think true love is having the means and motive to leave and start fresh. I think true love is that, logically and sensibly, you have every reason to leave.

But you don't. You stick right where you are. You don't walk out that open door. You don't sneak out that night. You don't call that person to come and get you. You get upset, you get mad, you get overwhelmed with sorrow and rage, and you take all this...and you stay.

Because there truly is nowhere else you can go, there truly is no one who can help you, there truly is no way out. Because, for you, this is where you have to be. You can clearly see all the faults, all the meanness, all the bad things. And you can't help but see the special stuff, the good stuff, the kindness, the character, the inner being that you are so privileged to see. Because you know it's a rare flower to bloom in such a desolate landscape. And that if you don't care for it, treasure it, that flower will die. And you along with it.
