Everyone out there says that love is supposed to be easy. That all we need to do is be in the right place at the right time with the right person and it’ll just magically happen.
That’s not us though.
You and I weren’t given an easy road from the get-go. We had so many problems to work out. But we fought tooth and nail to fix them and we still are.
So many other people would’ve freaked out over everything we’ve faced and still deal with. But us… we're different.
When something hits us, we knuckle down and we work on it.
That means we’re honest with each other because we care. We don’t keep anything in since there’s no point in keeping things from the person you care about the most.
Even if it has us up at 3 am screaming at each other, it's an argument between two people who genuinely give a shit about keeping each other in their lives.
There’s no tiptoeing around the other person’s feelings or bottling things up because we’re afraid we’ll hurt each other.
Instead, we hash everything out when something is bothering us. It’s definitely a struggle sometimes but that’s how we know we have something real.
We keep going because we see the good in everything. We find ways to surprise each other when we least expect it, we support each other, and just love each other.
And we keep doing all this because we know we’re worth it, our love isn't the type you just give up on.
Every day there’ll be something else to talk about or figure out. But the funny thing is most of the time, it doesn’t bother us.
Instead of it feeling like work, it just feels natural now.
We want to do this every single day. Even when we’re at each other’s throats it doesn’t change how we feel. Deep down we know we want to make this work no matter how hard it is.
Of course, there are days that are harder than others. Maybe we haven’t even hit our hardest ones yet, but we’ve got this.
We’ve come so far now that we can get through just about anything.
We’ve been told that to have something real means it should be easy. Now we know it’s actually the opposite.
We’ve had to work for what we wanted and it made us better. Now all that’s left to do is keep fighting, asking questions, and being there for each other.
And if we can do that, we might just make it.
