A Temporary Feeling

Is love and happiness really what it seems to be

A Temporary Feeling  JB

 

You only love me when you’re happy

But can’t you see love isn’t really a feeling

And can’t you see that happy is only temporary

What happens when our days are dark and weary

When there are no happy feelings and love just seems like misery

Love is forgiveness a thousand times

Love is pain and anger in the night, but you’re still by my side

Love is what will separate us from the dark and carry us through the night

Doesn’t for better or worse have weight in this fight

Being broken within our one soul together is better than the deceiving happy in our sights

Well said. Well written. The 'you' in here may love, but I think we all doubt it and instead think this fair-weather good feeling is something more shallow. Which is absolutely fine as long as it doesn't pretend to be other than that.

I might have had 'comes and goes' rather than 'is only temporary'' but it's your words. Nicely done.

Feelings fade, but I'm a firm believer that love - real love - never dies. It's like air. You breathe it. You live it. It's a part of you, inside of you, outside of you, around you, forever. It's spiritual and transcendent and lifts you to unimaginable heights. When you know that kind of love, that soul love, that lifts you to the divine, you will never be without. Like a river, it inundates you and suffuses you until you are soul saturated. It traverses the veins and beats in the heart. I've tasted its wine, and it's sweet. I wish to sip from its rim forever.
