Not a Give and Take

Some people think that love is easy… that it’s a piece of cake as long as we remember… that love's a give and take. I think the heart is more fragile than that… that’s it’s easy to bruise… to break… and though I do think love is something you give… I don’t think it’s something you can take. I think of love more as a gift. A gift…that once declared is to be opened up together… to be cherished… to be shared. Which means if we want love to be easy to be a piece of cake then we must think of it as more…than a simple give and take. For love to work as it is meant to work… once it’s given…I believe It’s not something you take It’s something you receive
