I've decided that I may have been putting way too much thought into the word love; love of the relationship type that is. Parent-child or owner-pet is much more cut and dry.
I've beat the subject to death in my own mind. When is it love? Is there an invisible line you cross at some point? Do you wake up on a certain random day having had an overnight epiphany? Are there degrees, lesser and greater?
Does fear of possible future pain (once burned and twice shy syndrome) cause us to deny new love even though we may be feeling it (that's a big one I think)?
My hint, sent by the big U or so I suppose, is a song that I can't get out of my head. For the past two weeks, or is it a month (?) - "For You Blue" by George Harrison as performed by the Beatles just WILL.NOT.STOP., even at night in my dreams.
Last night as we lay together, spooning, touching, squeezing, petting each other as we slept, it finally became clear to me... the message, the reason for the song.
It is the first line: "because you're sweet and lovely girl, I love you"
Hmmm, doesn't need to be a bit more complicated than that, now does it.. because you're sweet and lovely... I love you.
No implied permanence, no over-analysis. Simply a statement of George's here and now at the moment of writing. No fear...
I'm hoping that this is the message I've been missing and that now I can put the song, as much as I, eh, love it, to rest for a while..

Hi Tai.. yes thx
Admit it, dude! You are TOTALLY whipped and she OWNS your sorry ass!
Oh, sure... You can do the manly man thing and try to down play it or deny it, but we know!
Now go do what she tells you to do like a good boy!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
and u too Amy... I'd tell her, but I have her occupied raking leaves right now. Now shhh... watching the Chiefs dominate the Packers
Yes, you caught the U.. grok me. Awesome
BTW, if you put some cotton balls between her toes it will make it easier on you when you paint her toe nails!
P.S. Glad you can watch the game. Too bad you can't hear it over the roar of the vacuum you're using!
As far as definitions go, that one works for me.
If there were, would you know that you crossed it?
I'm not being facetious; I understand your point and believe you may have just arrived.

b1.. kinda works doesn't it
thank you fusun atelay!
perfectly put. a series of intense herenows unto eternity
is my idealistic vision of love.
you simply cannot get ENOUGH of the loved one.
that is love.
no expectations ever for deserving it, myself.
and therein the problem,
see?
How do I know this? Because I have an open marriage, and girls have often assumed this about my husband, even after being told otherwise, especially the married part. I can only go by evidence, because I really don't know how women think. I think like a guy, a particularly slutty one. Ain't it fun to be a dog?
But LOVE, we can all do that. It works best when there is no goal and no escape clause. Just do it as long as it works for you both. But don't lie and don't fake it. That is the sum total of what I know about love. That will be ten cents.
As you have just discovered ;).
Rated for molehills out of mountains.
Oh yeah. I forgot about politics............
Ya might as well go for it, buddy. You can't be "a little bit in love" any more than you can be "a little bit pregnant," ya know?
Hey, you've voted before haven't you? Look how well that turned out.....
