The Insanity of Love

The insanity of love is not that your hearts become one.
It's that one heart holds the emotions of two people.

The insanity of love is not missing someone when they walk away,
but missing them when you are sitting right beside them.

The insanity of love is not crying because you are hurting,
It is crying because they hurt.

The insanity of love is not holding someone close because you love them,
it's pushing them further and further away because you love them too much.

The insanity of love is not that you care so much about them,
but that you care about nothing if you are without them.

The insanity of love is not trusting in yourself to be faithful,
it is trusting in another life to love only you.

The insanity of love in not a burning passion inside your soul when you see them,
it's the burning hurt that overwhelms you when they walk away.

The insanity of love is not that you would die for them,
it's knowing wholeheartedly that they would die for you.

The insanity of love is not that love is a good feeling,
but that our lives wouldn't be complete without it.

Love requires insanity.
Insanity requires sickness.
Sickness requires a source.
A source requires a person.
A person requires love.
