Love often times starts with a kiss and ends with a tear; its what some people experience only once or twice in their entire lives, while others have been granted the opportunity to have many different chances, or none at all. Love is the greatest victory, and also the worst defeat. Love is the never ending dream that many hope for, and its in the presence of things that are often not seen.

Love is....with you.

Love is no longer with me. :sleep:

I go back to sleep now.

I saw this thread again, and instantly this popped into my head:

A Red, Red Rose

by Robert Burns

My love is like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June :

My love is like the melody

That’s sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in love am I :

And I will love thee still, my dear,

Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi’ the sun :

And I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only love,

And fare thee weel a while !

And I will come again, my love,

Thou’ it were ten thousand mile.

Love is like crack: when you're jonesing, everything on the floor looks and smells like it, but only the real thing will kill you.

:rofl:

...................................................

Love is listening to someone snore really loud all night long, and then not wanting to punch them in the face. :w00t:

Who knows how to make love stay?

1. Tell love you are going to Junior’s Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if love stays, it can have half. It will stay.

2. Tell love you want a momento of it and obtain a lock of its hair. Burn the hair in a dime-store incense burner with yin/yang symbols on three sides. Face southwest. Talk fast over the burning hair in a convincingly exotic language. Remove the ashes of the burnt hair and use them to paint a mustache on your face. Find love. Tell it you are someone new. It will stay.

3. Wake up love in the middle of the night. Tell it the world is on fire. Dash to the bedroom window and pee out of it. Casually return to bed and assure love that everything is going to be all right. Fall asleep. Love will be there in the morning.

When the mystery of the connection goes, love goes. It’s that simple. This suggests that it isn't love that is so important to us but the mystery itself. The love connection may be merely a device to put us in contact with the mystery, and we long for love to last so that the ecstasy of being near the mystery will last. It is contrary to the nature of the mystery to stand still. Yet it’s always there, somewhere, a world on the other side of the mirror (or the Camel pack), a promise in the next pair of eyes that smile at us. We glimpse it when we stand still.

The romance of new love, the romance of solitude, the romance of objecthood, the romance of ancient pyramids and distant stars are means of making contact with the mystery. When it comes to the perpetuating of it, however, I got no advice. But I can and will remind you of two of the most important facts I know:

(1) Everything is part of it.

(2) It’s never too late to have a happy childhood

Both from "Still Life with Woodpecker," by Tom Robbins
