Kris Kristofferson recorded one of the classic hits in the ’70s, “Lovin’ Her Was Easier, (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again).”

Some people say that love is easier if both hearts collide. In reality, love is not easy, especially if you are not a risk-taker. Being a risk-taker also includes having a brave heart. What I mean by risk-taker is to be willing to take risks without any condition at all when entering a relationship. Conditions include loving the person for who they are and staying with the person even in their hardships.

If you want to keep the relationship last for a lifetime, learn to understand the conditions of love. Every relationship endures hardship and the best thing you can do is to save the relationship rather than the arguments. A lot of people have already experienced heartbreaks but are still willing to take risks to fall in love all over again because they believe that love is easier if you already found the perfect person for you. In line with this is the song “Lovin’ Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again).”

Lyrics Breakdown

Turning on the world, the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Loving her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again
Coming close together
With a feeling that I’d never known before in my time

Love songs are loved when it is presented in a different way. Like this love song, the narrator describes his lover in different ways using images drawn from nature and references to interpersonal intimacy.
