Hello. I have a question for all the Lost Souls:

What is love in your reality?

To be more specific, I am talking about the kind of love you find between two lovers. I realize how strange this question may sound. But this is very important to me and I would appreciate it if as many people as possible could reply to this with serious answers.


PS: please don't reply with a link to Haddaway's song.

trust me on this
real love has darkness for a face.
and the first death is always in the heart.

[peninhand]

Is this how you have seen "love" to work at large?

Or have you had your heart broken?

[ A bit blunt, but the later would explain a lot. ]

[horrifictie]

oh I got it broke alright.
real bad too. she did a number on me.
but love where I'm from is either for the very rich or the very poor

[peninhand]

Huh? Why's that?

What's stopping middle-class people from being in love?

[horrifictie]

middle class love is the root of the darkness

[peninhand]

I'm sorry but I'm not quite following you.

Do you mean that figuratively, or does love between middle-class people somehow create darkness where you come from?

[horrifictie]

you're young aren't you?
i get that impression
let me ask you this:
does love pay the bills? does it keep the lights on? you can love someone with all your heart, but love alone cannot sustain a relationship.
this is what i mean by middle class love being darkness

[peninhand]

Oh.

[ Somehow she felt disappointed. She'd expected there to be some kind of curses or evil force that separated people when they belonged to a certain class... It was like the perfect setting for a dark yet romantic story. Oops. ]

I get what you mean now and yes, I am relatively young. But I totally disagree. I don't disagree as far as monetary issues are concerned, but calling that love "darkness?" I think that builds the relationship to be stronger and more resilient if anything. It may be tough, but nothing love cannot handle.

Gosh, having to go through hardships with my beloved would be so romantic...

[horrifictie]

it is REALLY not.
not unless romance is arguments, living in dark tombs and threats of breaking up.
and romance is darkness so that is EXACTLY what it is!

[peninhand]

What was their name?

[ Just call it a hunch. ]

[horrifictie]

not telling you.

[ yeah he knows he's obvious, so what? ]
