//the god of blinding love
Think about this.
Look.
In some old love song, it is said that love is all around. While it is true that love is easily found with the way two people look at each other, in the cups of late night coffee, in laughters being shared...
It is equally easy to miss the bad things that are prevalent in some relationships.
Especially when we're part of them.
They say love is blind. I say, Love makes us Blind.
Look around you. You might not even have a clue, but a loved one just might be a victim of The Vicious Cycle. Of the God of Blinding Love.
To my stainless steel friend, this is for you.
