You know it,
Sometimes you don’t realize it.
It may take time,
Or happen in a blink of an eye.
It is truly amazing,
But it can also hurt you.
It happens in fairy tales,
But it can also come true.
It can last forever,
Or it can break in an instant.
It is all around us,
But we sometimes ignore it.
It is simply extraordinary,
It is perfectly imperfect,
It is love.
