For what is love, if but conditional? Can it still be called love if someone says "I love you if. . . ." Is it still love?

But I am most certain that I would still love you. Even if you shatter me once again, a thousand more times. I do believe I would still love you, even if love meant pain, even if love meant separation. I do believe I would love you even if love meant death. In fact, especially if it meant death. Is not love, but the dying of two hearts, which resurrect themselves into one?

Is not love me turning to you, and proclaiming: "I might be broken, but so are you. And in our brokenness, we come together, and we are whole"? Is it not out of love that I say these things?

Or what of you, your cold facade, your uneven temperament. Do you yet run from me, frightened? I can only hold out my hand to you, because I am frightened too. I am frightened of you, and I am frightened of the things I feel for you. I am frightened that you will hurt me again, but I cannot help but still reach for you.

Is that not love?
Well, this is why I'm not allowed to write anymore. Either way, this was inspired by someone very dear to me. Fortunately, I don't think he pays attention to my dA, so I doubt he'll be seeing anything. ^_~

Either way, if this strikes anyone's heartstrings, let me know, or if you find it fit to tell it to someone else, just, well, get back to me and let it know how it goes.

I hope things work for you sweet heart.

The first part I can strongly feel, the second part saddens me, and i have never had that happen.
