I feel like no one person

absolutely

knows what it is like to be loved

the right way

how is there a right way

and how is there always a wrong

way

why do we look for the bad

guilty until proved innocent

because we love with a guard up

until we have deemed it safe to say that

we can actually be loved

but what if it is wrong

what if we don’t feel loved in the end

how come we love everything around us

but label it bad or good

good or bad

right and wrong

we know of no such thing

love is love until proven broken

we love everything with all within us

and we cherish it all no matter what

do not succumb to the idea that love is not

right

that the love is “wrong”

that is wrong

love with everything

always accept the love

but be aware

and don’t always believe that the love is wrong.
