Love can be compared to holding a candle. In the beginning, the candle's light makes the world around it feel warm and bright.
Everything takes on a magical glow, and there's a sense of comfort in its presence. However, as the candle continues to burn, it begins to melt.
The wax slowly drips, and sometimes it lands on the skin, causing a sharp, stinging pain.
It's a reminder that something beautiful and warm can also cause hurt.
There are moments when love fills the heart with joy, making everything seem lighter and more vibrant.
But there are also times when love can cause pain, leaving marks that take time to heal. This understanding brings a realization that the pain is part of the journey.
Just like a candle's light, love brings warmth and light into life, but it must be handled with care. When done so, the beauty of love can be appreciated without letting the pain overshadow the warmth.
