The Side Effects of Love

You know the moment where you are watching a commercial for a prescription and then you stand agape at the side effects of the drug?? It's crazy. I hear all those side effects starting to be rattled off and the next thing I am wondering is why in the world would anyone take such a thing if it could cause all these other problems? 

Then I got to thinking about how love is like a drug with a plethora of side effects. A ton. A million things that spout off from that one little drug you took. Like a drug, sometimes love wears off... sometimes you are hooked for life. Sometimes you take that drug once and you are like, "no thanks, that is not for me." 

But if you looked at just the side effects of the love drug, would you still want to take it? Decide for yourself....
