Love does exist,
I always told myself.
Because then how else
would someone like me
hold onto life?
And now that I’ve met love,
I realize —
it exists,
but never unconditionally,
never permanently,
never lasting.
It fades —
with time,
with familiarity,
with every new responsibility.
It fades,
until you start to wonder
if love was ever real,
or just another dream
you held too tightly.

The fading of love over time is a question of whether it was ever love or just passion. Nicely written
Thank you so much!!!!
You are most welcome
Love is real Meera as I have always had love in my life.

Maybe yeah but I guess not everyone is that lucky?
