Love is meerly a handbag carried by many.
Some take it everywhere.
Some leave it at home to never be seen.
Some never realize what its true potential is.
Is it just used to carry your makeup used to cover up your true self, or to cover up the gift that a 'nerd' gave you with several blank sheets of paper that you call notes?
The point is love can't just be what you carry around, or shadow it should be what you are most proud of what makes you, you.

The author's comments:
The boy I loved was called a nerd in school, and I used to be embarressed when he would come up and talk to me during school. So I would 'hide him away' till I got home then we would be on the phone for hours. I was ashamed to be seen with him in fear of my popularity reputation. Now I express that I am dating him with no fear because he joined football this year and is the best quarter back they have ever had. 'Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover'.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
