Is Love Blind?

A little something I wrote the other day...

After reading this question and milling on it for a little while I have some thoughts that just came to my mind.
I believe that true love is not blind. You are blind when you go into a relationship carelessly not focusing on the true beauty that lies within someone. You close your eyes to the things you wish did not exist in that person, not flaws but rather characteristics that are not right for you. True love is opening your eyes for the first time. When you find that right person there is no reason to cover your eyes out of fear of what you may see. Instead you love the person with eyes wide open to who every piece of who they are.

Blindness is turning away from the things you see. Open your eyes and experience real love.

So to answer the question, no, love is not blind, lust is. I refuse to fall in lust again.
