Shouldn't the case be...?

I don't know what it is but somewhere the idea of what a love should be and what a love is has been lost in translation. I understand that there are times where our hearts decide to believe what our minds tell it and we fall into an idea of love that never really existed at all. The reality is not that love can be be found but it must be accounted for on the emotional. Too many times we mold a situation into what we long for it to be and push aside the facts and all the signs pointing towards the opposite thing that we should be choosing. Love is not a convenience, it is not here for one more than another. It is not something that one half can take lightly and the other be consumed in. When ones heart is at war the other should run to its defense and not be settled until peace has been found. When we long for someone because of loneliness we tend to look so quickly that we forget that we will not be the only life involved. So what do we do? We learn to not be able to say no and throw all we know as truth aside to feed our selfishness and greed. We look to better ourselves and not the other we are pursuing. Love is a selfless act and how we know we truly love someone is when we are willing to break our own hearts to repair anothers. Love is a choice not a feeling. So as caution to all those in search of finding something or someone to dig the roots of their heart into...make sure that the choice being made is one in which you will not regret when the morning comes.
