Love Is Complicated

The complications of love are absurd

Some people they don’t find it for a long time

The whole process can be extremely blurred

Love can be the world’s longest uphill climb

Finding the correct person can be hard

All the character, compassion, and grit

Some try to get in your head and bombard

Make sure that your real feelings are legit

Love can make people travel near and far

The way you persevere is how you’re made

You need someone who is about on par

Be on the lookout so you don’t get played

The art of love is hard to understand

The entire journey is extremely grand

~Allison H.

In Love

Loving someone can be a great blessing,

But being in love is terrifying.

You can’t know thoughts, so it keeps you

guessing.

It’s a burden to keep clarifying.

What if you give love but don’t get it back?

Is it possible to love way too much?

Questions join my brain going in a stack.

And once you get love, it slips from your clutch.

Similar to a dandelion, right?

Beautiful, delicate on the outside

But blow too hard, and it is out of sight.

And eventually thoughts will collide.

And while love is tough, and hard to work out,

Take the risk, even if you have these doubts

~Juliana R.
