I think sometimes we associate love with infatuation.
Our judgment becomes clouded based on how we feel not what is real.
But when we look at an almost relationship as love what we are really doing is devaluing it.

We are accepting less than we deserve.
We are loving someone first even when they arent reciprocating it.
That isnt love.Love is black and white and clear as day.

It doesnt come with splashes of gray and confusion.
Love isnt compromising your self-respect because they are making you try too hard.
Love doesnt require you to go more than half way because love meets you in the middle.
Love doesnt mess with your head.
Love doesnt play games.
Love doesnt tell you Im not ready.
Love doesnt pretend to be a relationship then fail to put a label on it.
Love doesnt pull you close just to push you away.
Love doesnt use you.
Love doesnt ignore you.
Love doesnt treat you well one day then bad the next.
Love isnt something thats difficult but rather it adds simplicity and a level of comfort and reassurance.
Love does not leave you insecure questioning yourself as you look at your reflection.
Love does not make you feel like you have to compete for someones time of attention.
Love does not constantly disappoint you and let you down.
Love doesnt hide you or keep you a secret.
Love builds you up and supports you.
Love is there every time you need them to be.
Love is teamwork and someone always in your corner.
Love are the sacrifices you make because someone elses happiness is your own.
Love is looking at someone and counting your blessings that they are yours.
Its continuing to grow together even in the moments you are a part.
Love is someone who makes you a better version of yourself.
Love is in that smile when you open your eyes and they are right there next to you.
Love are the holidays you look forward to because you know itll be with them.
Love is the communication without words when you look at them across the room.
Loving is missing someone before they leave and not wanting them to.
Almost relationships make you work for something you shouldnt have to work for.
Almost relationships is that person being selfish and taking your best while giving their worst.
But what happens when you think an almost relationship is love is you ruin love for yourself.
Almost relationships make you come across as desperate, desperate for the love you should be giving yourself.
So like stop saying its love when feeling that way towards someone hurts you.
But that can only happen if you choose to let go.
And I know it hurts to let go.
