Skeptical about the L word

They say it’s a river, that circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
It conquers all, it changes everything

They say it’s a blessing, they say it’s a gift
They say it’s a miracle
And I believe that it is
It conquers all, but it’s a mystery

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And it fades away so easily

In this world we’ve created
In this place that we live
In the blink of an eye the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
Unites the lovers for eternity

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
To the beauty that remains

Look at this place
It was paradise, but now it’s dying
I’ll pray for love
I’ll take my chances that it’s not too late

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily

Oh oh oh

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
To the beauty that remains

Love Is by Vanessa Williams

Stupid. You just don't get it.

Fancy getting yourself so upset over a girlfriend who's not worth it. A girlfriend/boyfriend who makes you choose them over your friends obviously do not know what love is.

Love is selfless, love is unconditional. We read of the godly love that one should possess in the bible. And that is the definition of love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Love comes easily to some, like my good friend Astreal Blush who's now happily with her Swedish Meatball. And another Cowjinx with her French Baguette. (Damn SPGs they are now! To think I was the one since secondary school, always proclaiming how I love to have eurasian babies and wanting to marry a blue-eyed white man!)

Any case, we can dream lofty dreams of how love will find us, of how one day we will be swept away by the Prince Charming of ours in their white stallions (fairy tales are so not true) or be besotted by the Princesses in our lives. But the skeptic in me, can tell you this, dreams are still dreams until they come true.

Don't count your eggs until they hatch. People can say one thing and still break their promises at the end of the day. (Me included, though I am doing my best to keep my end of my deal). If not, how would such a saying "Promises are made to be broken" come about?

We are humans with flaws. And trust and believe you can, but on one hand, know that eventually if things do not come to fruitation, blame no one (God especially) for the predicament you've ended up in, for the steps in life were chosen and decided by yourself (including that decision to trust in the words of the other party).

Don't be too naive BP. Take care and hope my thighs came in handy.
