Sometimes it is all the way we are told it will
be:
'You think this is love? You think
this is real? You will get over it. Pretty
soon you will tire of it'. And no, we are
sure,
positive that
love will conquer
all. Love will rule the day. Love is all we
need.
Define love.
'A relationship needs to be based on some sort of common ground. Perhaps you are in the same ballpark now, perhaps your ideological differences are so slight, they are barely noticable. All angles start from a single point. It is the degree that widens,
moves apart (slow and sure) and soon the slight
variance is a gaping chasm. It is bound to happen
'.
But no. We are sure, positive that
the differences are imagined, that the ultimate goal
is actually the same, that the variances are not
degrees of difference but merely
merely
... something else.
And despite all this, despite our conviction that we can make things work if we want to, despite the fierce opposition, it has nothing to do with any of it at all. I am just moving faster than you, or you faster than me. Just on different wavelengths. Just (despite myself) moving on.
Look at me, I am moving on and overtaking you
and pulling ahead. Look at me, you are left behind in
a cloud of dust and it's not even intentional.
Define love.
