Love is the only thing that can survive. Love was the first thing here and it will be the last thing standing. The wonderful thing about love is that nothing is able to change it. Some people may disagree after their hearts have been broken in some way, but the love you thought ran away, did not. The focus and form of love simply shifted. Love became pain. A person's heart never would have been broken if they never loved someone or something in the first place. That pain was just a side effect of love. That pain may one day turn into hate, a hate that you cannot explain. But we must realize that it is not the subject we hate. It is the pain they caused us and the betrayed trust. We hate that we ever loved them, but the love still remains: the love to continue and for some, the love to forgive because true, everlasting love is full of hope. It makes changes and sacrifices for the sake of never losing the one they love. Love conquers every obstacle and every heartache that life may bring forth. Love is not subject to anything and anyone. Love is able to conquer anything...if we let it. We are subject to love, not the other way around. Love only "fails" when we try to control it.

"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."
-Maya Angelou
