Ordinary love versus true love

Ordinary love
comes in many shapes 
and forms.
But
True love
comes once in a lifetime.
So when it knocks
on your heart's door,
answer it
welcome it
embrace it
and never let it go.

Ordinary love
can be destroyed
by careless whispers
petty jealousies
and other outside forces 
But
True love
is protected by building
a strong foundation
two people 
one thought
one vision
one heart
one promise
one love.

Ordinary love
can be easily destroyed.
But
True love
is totally different.
No matter what
the situation 
it can be dealt with
and handled.
It's been said,
"what God has joined together,
let no one put asunder".

Ordinary love 
comes in all shapes 
and forms.
But 
True love
can conquer all.
