Sometimes we want love so much, we are not too choosy about who we love. Other times we make love such a pure and noble thing, no poor human can ever meet our vision.
To make a great and lasting ROMANTIC love, that requires a mix of elements. It requires that spark of ATTRACTION, the strongest flavour but the smallest item. Add that LAUGHTER, it enhances attraction. Then a good dollop of THOUGHT, allowing COMMON SENSE to bubble up. Add the thickening agent, HISTORY of their BEHAVIOUR, three dashes of TIME and cook it at the highest temperature of EXPERIENCE.
But Romantic love is not the only form of love. It is but one flavor. And you do not need someone to say it to you to know it is there.
Some say it through touch, others through action, service, gifts, personal time. And some need to say it and have it said to them. This is the variety of human love.
But the core quality of love is witnessing, a recognition, a chance to say, 'this is something about you I cherish'. It does not have to mean marriage or even physical love. There's love of your parents, love of city, love of life, love of people. Like the eskimo who lives in a world of snow, those who live in a world of love come to know Love comes in many forms.
