Nobody tells you about the ugly side of love.
You think that it will come waltzing into your life and make everything all right with a smile and a dance. That once they enter your life everything will seem magical and beautiful again. And sometimes it does. But not always.
What nobody tells you is that you will have to look into someone's deepest flaws and learn to accept them. That you will have to accept they may have loved someone before and given their whole selves to them. That you will have to deal with those memories being some of the sweetest ones in their life. And that maybe no matter what you do, some semblances of them will always remain.
What nobody tells you is that the person who may appear as the most amazing person to you at the start would be discovered to be as just another human being with their own insecurities and fears.
And sometimes you will have to be strong when you don't feel like it and hold them close just so they can feel better. That love close just so they can feel better. That love won't end your problems and may sometimes even create them but you will never feel like giving up on it.
And that's the thing about love. That no matter how many hardships you come across, you don't want to end it. You want to power through it. Because despite everything, you love it when she sends you weird selfies and eats up all your food. You love it when she thinks she doesn't look good but for you, there's no one more beautiful.
Because earlier when spending forever with a girl scared you to death, with this one it just feels natural. And when you hold her close it feels so comforting. When she falls asleep on your arm, you know that there is no other girl whom you would let do this. Maybe years later when you have a daughter you may have to lie to her that she is more beautiful than her Mom but in your heart you know, no other girl can ever replace her.
Yes, nobody tells you about the ugly side of love because it's not that important. You're going to love them no matter what anyway.
And that, is what love is all about.
