Hollywood says love is butterflies in your stomach.

Will that feeling take care of you when you’re weak and sick?

Movies display people who are romantic and swoon.

They tell you love is beyond the moon.

But will that love be there for you when life burns and leaves an open wound?

Love in books is full of passion.

The characters always know how to give satisfaction.

Does that love know about compassion?

Will they give love when there’s not much to ration?

Love is more than a feeling.

It’s more than two people who find each other physically appealing.

It’s sent to you when you need healing.

It’s there for you when you don’t feel like dealing.

Love is giving your time.

Love is caring even when you don’t feel like being kind.

Love helps you change and become refined.

True love can be hard to find.

But if it’s real, it won’t leave you behind.

It will leave you with a new mind.

Love is kind. Love is patient. Love is selfless.

It is the ultimate success.

It is not without a price.

It may even make you think twice.

Are you willing to make that sacrifice
