love is never enough

my friend got a tattoo recently 'love is enough'

i like the tattoo, but i could never have that on me.
love is the painful, hurtful, fucked up thing ive ever been in
before i feel in love i longed to, like they do in the movies, and when i did, i knew love isnt enough.
love is the deepest part of your soul, the whole constuction of it. so when someone you love is a dick, or a bitch, or ignores you, it feels like the foundations of your heart have crumpled.

I have cried so many tears for love, held myself and wept so many nights and so many days, love makes you so vunerable to pain.
Yeah, i have had those movie moments, those moments where you think ' its like im in a film' and where your heart swells and your throat is full with how happy you are. But then comes the missing, the urgent longing for more. And after that, the lonliness when you realise the person you love doesn't need you as much as you need them.
Love is what holds the world together, in some way or another, but its also what breaks the worlds heart, love is what you need, but it isnt all you need, not by far.
