Why

Why can love be so messy? 
you go from loving 
to disagreeing 
to divorce 
to singlehood 
trying to find true love 
why can't it be easy?

Love needs to do as you would be done by. Not easy.

Dear Karen, such plainspoken truth. I believe you captured the whole messy arc of love in just a handful of lines, how it can lift you, break you, and still leave you searching for something real. Blessings, Daniel
