Never a waste



Love is a complicated thing
 Its not always the way books and movies portray it
Not perfect timing
Not perfect people
Sometimes when you show up and open your arms to love
It rejects you
Other times you love a person forever
But there timeline is shorter than yours
To love and to be loved is never a waste
Each moment of love shared is meaningful and meant to happen
Whether that be through the intertwining of friendship
Or the hard falling into love of another over all
Some people hate love
But  this special spell that it has on us can be so magical
And that for me, outweighs the miserable
To love and to be loved is never a waste
