[ WP ] Talk to me about love

Here's a cliche for you- love hurts. But no, really. Love is painful. 
 
 Especially when someone you love does n't love you back. You sit and cry in the shower as it hits you like a ton of bricks that they will never care about you in the way that you want- no need them to. They sit and go about their life as if they did n't do anything to you. As if they can still be in your life even though whenever you see or even think about them, your heart continues to break. It's not like you can tell them you love them because that's not fair to you or them. Admitting that you love them and having them tell you they do n't love you back will crush you; having them pity you will crush you. 
 
 But you keep trying to find it. Even though this pain can be so unbearable, you keep going. That first kiss makes it worth it- the awkward, heart racing, whole body tingling mess. The first time they take your hand in theirs and you ca n't help but smile. When they kiss you on your shoulder in the middle of the night, just to remind you they're there. Waking up to see their face next to yours and wanting to stay in that one spot forever... 
 
 That's love.
