When
you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an
earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to
make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so
entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness; it is not
excitement, it's not the desire to mate every second of the day, not
lying awake at night imagining him kissing every part of your body.
No.. don't blush. I'm telling you some truths. That is just being in
love, which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love, itself, is
what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn't sound
very exciting does it? ...but it is.
That's a pretty good insight. One of the hardest lessons i had to learn once i got married was accepting Billy for everything he is- not what he WAS, or what he will be. Boys change ALOT.... and i had to see different seasons and persons of Billy throughout the years (not that he's psycho or anything). I came to a couple serious crossroads to leave him because i didn't know this Billy because i fell in love with the "old" Billy. Then i came to understand that real love is accepting a person for every part of their being, because he does the same for me (although i swear i didn't change- but he swears i did haha). I can't lie- i miss the adrenline rush of the first kiss and romantic gazes - but i wouldn't trade that for what real love is ya know? Because you feel safe and understood for once. But that comes with mucho mucho mucho personal sacrifices. I mean- i had to start shaving my legs now!!! HUGE sacrifice- lol jk. Anyway- sorry bout my long comment- it made me think. lol! I love ya!
Werd. 6 years and counting. I miss you Lina Doll. Let's eat together!
i know what you mean... sometimes, it feels as though it gets worst over time, as your memory of "being in love" starts to fade away.
love is also what left over after those memories have faded..... i don't know if i would call it exciting, but it is definitely something that you can count on.
all that.... and a donkey punch too! :) http://sweetkandakane.blogspot.com/
