The Reality of Love

By: Rick Dixon

When it first hits you, it feels like heaven
Love can change everything
It can make you feel like you can do anything
Love can make the seasons change
It can make you want to sit and watch the autumn rain
Love can make you cry for no reason
It can make you sweat when it’s freezing
Love can make you feel born again
It can make you face your fears, or just forget them
Love can make you say things you never thought you would
It can make you do things you never thought you could
And at that very moment when you think you’re in love,
When your problems seem small, you find out the reality of it all

Some people will tell you it’s the best thing for the heart
But what they fail to tell you is that it can tear your life apart
Sometimes it's like sweet April rain
But it can hit you like a train
And fill your life with pain
When it feels too good to stop
But it hurts too much to stay
You’ve felt the reality of love

Love isn’t always a good thing
There’s no definition of love
It’s what you make it
