Get the Stuck-on-the-ceiling parenting mug.A Blue Valentine is dying love or dead love a love that wasn't even supposed to ever end but due to unforeseen circumstances it did and once it's gone it's gone forever like a beautiful flower if you take care of the flower it will grow and it will flourish but once you stop taking proper care of it the flower will die and there will be no way to bring it back once it's dead. Love Is just a chemical reaction in the brain that fades with time there for to truly love someone you must keep that love from fading but we often get complacent we no longer do the little things we once did for each other we become lazy with love. Love no matter how strong will die knowledge of impermanence is crucial in keeping and understanding love something that isn't made to last but yet we try and make it last forever so, in essence, don't become complacent with love
