smoochy koochy hoo "If there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts."~quoted by Conchita from Anna Karenina in Anna in the Tropics


I don't really like to talk about love much, maybe because it is so personal, or maybe because I don't want people to think I am in love at the moment because I mention it, but I can't help but ponder it. I know the biblical implications of love are forever. But i struggle with whether this means once the words "I love you" exit your mouth you ought to be solely entitled to that one romantic love to that one being. Or can it be taken that love, once blossomed, will stay forever but perhaps in a changing form. For instance, today I love you as a friend, tomorrow, I will love you as a boyfriend, next week I will love you like a husband, and in 4 years, we will divorce and I will again love you as a friend, or possibly even an acquantance, but the love never dissappears. This entire idea of unending love does not so much as perplex me, but rather makes me weary. Should I dare say "I love you" to anyone in fear that I may, perhaps, find that in the future they may become evil in some way but still possessing my love? Scary, to me, is giving a gift that you can never get back  ¶ 10:15 PM
