Down Here In Hell

In love we sometimes find ourselves wishing that things were perfect, but, on the odd chance relationships could be perfect, what would we do? If we actually take the time to think about things realistically we would realize that if relationships were perfect what would we complain about, and what would end up being the next level that we take things to?

If love was a blissful heaven, where would that leave us? How would we function? Where would the excitement be? Would there even be any excitement? Or is a love, that is occasionally flawed, a happier situation?

People love it when we make mistakes, so that way they have something to be upset about, they want a reason to complain. Think about how we get mad over almost nothing, how the smallest, pettiest things can set us off, and into a rampage.

If you're old enough to read this then you're old enough to know that relationships won't always exude perfection. We can't control what our lovers do and say, we can only know that they are human and make mistakes, they fall short of our expectations as I'm sure we've fallen short of theirs.

If ever we think of saving ourselves and running for the hills each time something goes wrong, what does that say about our dedication and the feelings that we say we have for each other? (On the one hand we have to admit that it does make perfect sense to want to remove ourselves from a bad situation)

Words without pain would leave us nothing left to say...(not that I agree with this) but is this how we actually think? If he/she loves me then they wouldn't hurt me? The reality is that we aren't intentionally trying to hurt each other (I hope). Love brings things out of us that may have been dormant before. My Grandfather once told me "If you're not crazy, you're not in love" so loving a person makes us do some outlandish things, say what we often don't mean and love in a way that can be overwhelming.

Instead of saving ourselves, think about how dull life was before love and relationships...when we think of saving ourselves, we don't because we know that we'd rather work things out down here in hell with you!
