Moderate Love…

Fifty Word Challenge #39: Moderation

Love…

True love, Intense Love, Crazy Love…Forever Love I dreamt of finding it …

What I learned instead… a lesson. Forever love…doesn't exist. It's a mirage…

Often used, a harbinger of pain…those golden words,

“I love you, but…”

Moderation In emotion isn't ideal but is advised.

Moderate Love…keeps it real.

Moderation…now that's a great prompt. I couldn't help but think of moderate love. The preconceived distorted notion of romantic, forever love in my head when I was younger, kept me looking for that unattainable perfect relationship, (makes me laugh now). But life, being the greatest teacher of all brought me straight down to my knees from the floaty clouds. I have loved, I have married, I have loved and lost, and am in love again…what really seems to work is moderation…go crazy, and you get hurt. Be moderate, maintain balance and it might actually work…or so I hope… I really do.
