Love Does Not Hurt

Let me tell you something they don't teach you in fairy tales, Let me deliver a message you can’t find in the mail, something your grandmother should have whispered in your ear before you went looking for love in all the wrong faces, spaces, empty-places. Love does not hurt. you've heard the songs that make suffering sound romantic, seen the movies where passion means pain, been told that jealousy is just love wearing different clothes. But listen… Love does not break your ribs to make room for itself. Love does not leave fingerprints on your throat or make you apologize for breathing too loudly. Love does not ask you to shrink Love does not control or tell you how to think until you fit inside someone else's idea of beautiful.
