Love has all different ways of working; it may make you happy or even sad because you are not happy with the big picture. Love has its negative affects though; if someone gets heart broken they can never be the same again, fearing that the same is going to happen to the next relationship that comes around. Yes, this happened to me, being left with no questions answered changed me.

Being left in the dark is a negative way love can change you, but it proves compassion or lack of it will leave you different.
Another way compassion can change a life is by changing yourself. Of course you dont go to drastic measures just to impress someone, Im talking about the little things.
