Choose to love

It’s easy to love
when everything is light
and fun
and beautiful;
but,
what matters most
is choosing to love
when it’s hard to remember
those easy times,
the times when it’s dark
and draining
and crazy.
Those are the times
when you choose to love
out of commitment
and out of honor.
Those are the times
that make your love strong.
Forged in fire.
Those are the times
that make your love
last forever.
