The Debate.

LOVE. What is it? And why is it that sometimes the most extraordinary love is best let go of?

The question of great love versus right love:

Great love.  This all encompassing madness sends you reeling.  It’s more powerful than one can put into words.  There is this electrifying connection between the two people involved.  No matter what they go through, they still feel bound to one another in a sense.  It’s stunning, beautiful, and infuriating.  This type of love doesn’t always involve happiness.  A lot of the time this love clouds just how unhappy people really are.  It’s the type of love that cancels out compatibility, and truly follows the path of the heart.  Passionate and extraordinary lack in description to express the feelings one has with great love.  (Luckily enough, it usually endures, whether or not you end up with this person in the end or not, since that isn’t always how this love is meant to be.  It endures forever in your heart, and so do they.)

Right love.  This type of love consistently brings out the best in you.  It makes you smile every morning when you wake up, and every night before you go to bed.  It makes you happy, and light.  There is a weight lifted off your shoulders, a comfort, and a foreseeable future.  It’s full of special moments, bright eyes, and utter content.  It is a love we all yearn for.  The love that reminds us to be the best we possibly can everyday.  The love that remains at our sides and never lets go.  This love entails surprise love letters, nights of passionate love, and the look shared between two lovers that know they are meant to spend forever in each other’s embrace. 

Sometimes, no matter how extraordinary great love can be, one must let go to realize that right love is just around the corner and is offering them a lifetime of bliss and a never ending supply of happiness.  Still, the great love remains, and for some it never ends.  However, the luckiest of all find a love that doesn’t make them chose.  This love is both great, and right.  It’s something I like to call true love.  Those butterflies remain, but only because after all this time you are still happy.  This love is crazy, and beautiful, all consuming, but you still manage to remain yourself amidst it all, and love your partner for doing the same.  You pick each other up when you stumble, and love them for every piece of their wonderful soul.  Like any other relationship fights occur and sometimes the light of happiness dims, but it always endures.  True love is hard work and messy, but it is a combination of the best that love has to offer. 

Whatever type of love befalls you, best of luck.
