Love... It's such a peculiar thing. It comes in different forms, and comes when you least expect it. There is love for your family, the kind that is bone-deep and came along when you were born. There is love for your friends, the kind that you gain along with friendships, that isn't quite as permanent as the love for family, but can be just as strong, or even stronger. Then there is love for partners (or however you would put it). It is not stronger than the other categories of love, but it means so much more. It's almost as if it is a chemical imbalance in the heart. It leaves the heart throbbing, the stomach churning... It is so easy to fall in love. You could see someone on the street and feel an immediate attraction to them. You might fancy it as love, you might consider it just a crush. You could know someone for a long time without even considering them to be anything more than a friend, or even an acquaintance, then see them one day, and suddenly feel something different. Maybe that love comes from knowing them through and through. Maybe there are different levels of love, and maybe the love can dwindle. Maybe when you have a 'crush', you really are in love, it's just not quite as strong as your love would be for a spouse. Maybe there are soul mates, and until you've met them, you haven't even comprehended the love you can feel for another. Or maybe you just can learn to love, and the entire idea of soul mates is a load of crap. Maybe that's why divorce rates are so high--because the partners haven't truly found their soul mates. Maybe some people will never find their soul mates. Maybe I have been in love, but not true, undying, heartbreaking love. Maybe some people fall in love too easily. Maybe some people are too full of hate to allow love in. Maybe I'm just thinking stupid things. Why is love so complex?? |
