“You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real.”

HUNGER GAMES. Okay, yes by now you should know that I'm mad as a box of cats; I get excited over incredibly stupid stuff.
"You love me. Real of not real?" I tell him, "Real." Wow, what a line, and yes its from Mockingjay, (so even if you didn't read the hunger games or despise them with a passion, you finish what you started reading.) Anyways, Real or not real? what a statement. Will you choose to be with someone for the rest of your life? Will you make it Real or not Real? I would choose to make it real; I mean thats the obvious choice right? Yes it is. How hard is though? To say yes I do love you, yes it is real. It's crazy hard, insanely hard in fact.
Someone, by saying, Real or not real, would've just given you a way out, but at the cost of their own feelings, nothing more. They want to know if your feeling are genuine. I know for certain that I wouldn't be brave enough to ask someone, "You love me. Real or not Real?" Because I don't want to hear the answer if it's not what I want to hear. (I have a feeling that I'm not the only one either.) I don't enjoy putting myself out there, well I do, but to a extent. I'll do crazy things, like dye half of my head pink and be mad in public; but thats a completely different type of being out there (yes? I know I'm right on this one.)
However, when it comes to love, I don't enjoy putting myself out there, I would much rather be protecting my heart then ever do anything to jeopardize my emotions; because my emotions, they really hold me together (to understand this you need to understand that I'm not the most stable person, I need balance in my life, and when I don't have it, I will start to unravel a little, as everyone knows, a little can turn into a lot quite quickly.)
When it comes to the answer though, "Real." What would you say? if someone asked you this? (I personally think this is the cutest question ever to be asked.) but no, seriously if someone asked you this, what would your answer be? Real or not real? (This is a real topic, so don't fault me for being mental.) How often do you find yourself faced with this question? How often do you find yourself on the receiving end? or the giver of the question?

I really don't know how to close this post, so I mean this is as good as anything else.
Love, is a bizarre concept, which I don't pretend to understand, but it is a wonderful puzzle that I want to solve someday, So someday, when you (my readers ((if I have any)) ) find yourselves faced with this question. Ponder it, make your answer count.
