HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 118|| PHOTOGRAPH BY ED SHEERAN|| (COVER)|| LOVE HURTS

Hello lovely people I hope you are all doing well? I'm also good and I'm happy it's Friday!

This week in our awesome community, we are presented with a very timely theme Love hurts by the talented @khaleesii.
Imagine looking at a photograph of your past love. It hurts right?
Indeed a genuine and unconditional love that has been betrayed cannot only hurt but can break one's heart.

Everyone has the capacity to love but not everyone can handle a heart break as a result of betrayal of love. For this reason, many have closed the chapter on giving a chance to love because they do not want to experience that hurt and emotional pain that comes from a broken heart.

But on the other hand, love can heal and it can mend a broken soul. This is the message of the song I am presenting to you. It's a beautiful song by Ed Sheeran titled Photograph

It advices and encourages us to dare fall in love because it also has a therapeutic power to heal. According to the artist, it is the only thing that makes us stay alive.
Imagine a world without love... Its going to be disastrous and boring.

So for the above reasons I was motivated to choose this song.
Below is a YouTube link to the original song video

For those who would love to follow up the song by singing along, below is the song lyrics.

Song lyrics

Photograph

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer
'Til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer
'Til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone

And if you hurt me
That's OK, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go

Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home

Oh you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat
Where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me
Well, that's OK, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go

When I'm away
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost
Back on 6th street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
"Wait for me to come home"
