Some people are good at being in love.

Some people are good at love.

Two very different things, I think.
Being in love is the romantic part
sex all the time, midday naps in the sheets,
the jokes, the laughs, the fun,
long conversations with no pauses,
overwhelming separation anxiety
Just the best sides of both people, you know?
But love begins when
the excitement of being in love starts to fade:
the stress of life sets in,
the butterflies disappear,
the sex becomes a chore,
the tears, the sadness,
the arguments, the cattiness
The worst parts of both people.
But if you still want that person by your side
through all of those things
thats when you know
thats when you know youre good at love.
