Love Knocks You Down yet Gives You a Hand ♥

“It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

Love Knocks You Down yet Gives You a Hand

Love… What do we really know about it?!
Such a powerful word can hardly be described and be given a meaning

Letters filling my paper will never cut it

It’s the widest of worlds out there and you’re still taking peeks from holes in the wall

Watch out! The vision can get a little blurry

Don’t look away, for some portraits will lead you astray

That image out there have been painted by others

A photograph taken in a life of utter pretending

Love isn't that scene you have seen in a movie while flipping channels

Those words you've read in a book when you were trying to pass time

Fables have been videoed to pleasure our imagination

Myths and dreams; written to feed our hunger for ‘Happily Ever Afters’

Known as Cinderella with glass slippers, spending midnights dancing beneath the stars

Sleeping beauty; awakened with what’s supposedly a true love’s kiss

And finally, life was breathed in a puppet of pine in Pinocchio’s fairytale

Close that book and change that path ‘cause life isn’t that magical

Love is when you’re sick and your mother spends sleepless nights on the side of the bed

When a fair maiden keeps writing letters to her beloved one even when she knows he’s not receiving any

When a brave soldier holds up his armor and gets ready for darker ages for the sake of his country

And when you’re ready to sacrifice your own happiness to get someone else to smile.

You can never truly know what love is
until you come face with something precious and deer to your heart

When you know it’s slipping away

Yet you still tighten your grip and hold on for as long as possible

It’s then when you’ll feel helpless and fragile as a house of cards

For my dear friend you have tasted perfection and got addicted

Climbed the highest branch for that apple hanging from the tree

And now you’re trembling at the thought of falling

You don’t always find what’ll cushion your drop

You’ll fall down the rabbit hole and find yourself in a world of chaos and confusion

The light will seem farther than ever

And spend sleepless nights at what could have been

Why do bed time stories always end with a happy ending??

What if Cinderella didn't match the slippers??

What if sleeping beauty spent a life time in an eternal sleep??

What if the world made sense??

But when that really happens; when the wind blows out every card

Let the curtains fall down – Another round of applause

Hold down your head and simply take the loss

Take your hat off and bow; for it has been quite the show

Don’t let the credits roll, for it’s merely the beginning

Rinse those puffy eyes and let the rain wash away what’s left from yesterday

Stop crying on your mama’s shoulder

Have the courage to turn the next page and write you own scenarios

You can’t give up! To turn your back to love!

It’s love that makes us extraterrestrials with infinite powers

It’s love that crafts a master piece

And it’s also love that creates the perfect book

It’s love that makes behind every nightmare a bigger bed to crawl into

That turns the clock around and gives the strength to forgive

To get the slightest scratch yet find all your loved ones around

To shed a tear only because you’re happy

The love for your mother, for your father and your grandmother

Your sister, your brother and your friend

It’s an infinite world of blissful affections and relationships like no other

And if you ever got knocked down by love, it’s love again that’ll give you a hand
