One of my all time favorite singers, Kris Allen, paints a perfect picture of an ideal relationship through his music. Now, I’m no relationship expert but with that being said, through his music and his lyrics I have come to learn a few lessons in love that I feel everyone should know.

Better With You .

“You make a bad day better than good. You make me feel better than I should. You understand when I’m misunderstood, like no one else ever could.”

Be with someone who understands you. It isn’t fair to you or the person you are with if they are constantly questioning how you feel about them.

Blindfolded.

“Walking through a strange and crowded place, imagining your face and fighting my way through.”

Be with someone who inspires you. Be with someone who makes you fight through your hard times.

Young Love ("Paul Simon").

“I won’t be the one that makes you question all your faith. And I won’t be the one that turns a crooked smile straight... I won’t be the one that takes the wind out of your sail. And I won’t be the one that tells you life is not a fairytale.”

Accept the person you are with. Make them feel like they are perfect the way that they are. Do not make them question themselves or the way that they live their life. Love them unconditionally.

It's Always You.

“It’s always you – you’re my favorite place to run.”

Be with someone who makes you feel okay – even when everything seems wrong.

Waves.

“She is my hurricane and I am her ocean. And we could make the biggest waves.”

Be with someone whose personality compliments your personality.

Letting You In.

“I still don’t know what you saw in me. I was beat up, broken down, closed off from everything. But still you knocked and waited patiently until I found the strength to find an opening. Letting you in was the hardest thing I ever did; the raging war between my heart and head.”

Push yourself to take chances. Push yourself to let someone in because that could be the best decision you could ever make.

Love Will Find You.

“You don’t get to choose the right place or the right time… You’re not gonna see it coming, shows up like a thief in the night. You’re not gonna feel like running, but that’s how you know it’s right.”

Don’t look for love. Let it come to you.
