How high is the price of love?


If Love were standing in front of me and asked me: “What are you prepared to give for me?” – I don’t know what I would say. Wait. Maybe I’d ask: “What have I done to you? Why did you jerk me around like that?” And then I’d shake him til his thoughts get whirled around like mine do. A storm in a glass of water.
And still: Whatever happens and whoever sent my feelings to war: I still believe in the power of love (but please don’t tell anybody I said that). Maybe I’m stupid. Maybe naive. But maybe hopes dies last. Even though my heart is lying in pieces on the ground right now and other people are dancing the samba on it – I can feel that in the end love will give me a chance. It’s just that it’s hard not to lose faith. Especially when love stabs you in the back, you will have doubts. Because love also hurts. But still…
It is the greatest of all feelings. We give everything for love… Really, everything? Is that too high a price? Would we be prepared to pay for love with our lives? If you’re destined for each other, the world can end – but at least you’re not alone. It’s better to drown together than to burn alone. Love burns – but maybe that’s only true when your love isn’t big enough. Maybe sometimes you believe in the love of your life, even though they’re not the one. Maybe our feelings are too small to ever become big enough so that you can go through everything together.
I wish I could get my courage back to leave the past behind me. With renewed strength, without old wounds. That’s why I let my soul write the words. Some day I will courageously laugh in the face of my fate.
