Love always comes with a cost,
a delicate balance of give and take.
Sometimes it's sleepless nights,
uncomfortable truths, or small sacrifices.
Sometimes the price paid leaves you
with lessons etched in tears and
chapters closed with a heavy heart.
Yet, other times, the cost is an investment in laughter  that echoes, an unwavering hand
in hardship, a shared journey of
immeasurable value and support.
Knowing when the price is worth the profound reward is the truest wisdom love imparts.
