the love that can’t be moved.

love doesn’t move.

That’s the thing; I don’t understand how people can ever say they unloved someone.

I think people are mistaken;

it’s not that they have unloved,

it’s not that the love was lost, or has gone away.

the love simply wasn’t there in the first place.

it’s just that now,

you realise that you never truly loved them.

though,

whether people admit to that or not,

…

that’s another thing altogether.

when we love someone, I don’t believe the love ever goes away.

what goes away,

is how much we want to make it work out.

what goes away,

is our collective desire to be a unit of ‘us’, and not just ‘you’ and ‘me’.

love doesn’t move.

what moves is you and I,

and our priority of love.

When the alignment between you and your lover is no longer there,

around how much you wish to fight for this love to come through together?

there will be loss.

because when one of you moves your stance around what you wish to choose instead

(surrendering to self-conversations, giving in to trust issues, handing power over to instant gratification)

the game is over.

love hasn’t moved.

because if you truly loved them?

you will always do.

It’s just that now,

love is no longer enough for you to choose each other

over everything else.
