the kind of love that exists only in real life, between real people, for real reasons. as apposed to the fairy tale, run of the mill, high school romance, at first sight, and so on and so on, this love encompasses all. it is up and down, easy and hard, right and wrong, a boy and a girl, day and night, peanut butter and jelly, addiction and sobriety, falling and flying.
you will know your love is "
hard love" when you make it through all of the obstacles and challenges, all the good times and celebrations, and at the end of the day look into eachothers eyes and know you made it together, know you did it for eachother. know that it was all perfect.
