What is Peccy's take on love? Read on...

"Love is a fickle thing," as the adage goes. It's a weird topic to talk about at the least, and coy at the most. People today tend to to open themselves up to their feelings. Then there are those who have never even felt that way about another person. They believe that these feelings cant exist.

I basically am part of the first category, I've opened myself up to a very few girls (2) in the not so distant past and its always orgasmic when you do.

People who don't know what it's like to love someone with your all, it's hard to put such joy into words. First off you simply adore everything about the other person. Their warmth, their feelings, their kiss, their laughter, etc.. When you look at them deeply in the eyes you feel almost trapped in that moment with them forever in a blissful way.

These are the feelings that I live for, the exquisite rapture of love. Could you call me a romantic? By some standards I'm sure.

But there's also a harsh reality that you can love someone with all of your heart and they won't be the person you grow old with. That's just not how it works. (Ask my ex wife) This is why there is the age old question: "Is it better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all?"

I don't think anyone truly knows. Maybe that's why love fits the word fickle so well.

After having my heart ripped up, I often feel that it is so NOT worth it and I'm never going to put myself at that risk. A year later, I'm ready to open up my heart again.

Because, ultimately, life feels more joyful and rewarding when you have someone to share it with in that special way you can only share with someone you love.

HMMM, and shouldn't this be philosophy rather than creative writing?

Just a four letter word that gets passed around more than an offering plate at church! The word is ease to use but never ment!

Actually, it is NOT easy to use. And some people don't say it if they don't mean it. I know I don't.

Meh the mods can move it easier than me

What you are describing, Peccy is actually what I would call infatuation.

Real, true, mature love isn't based on "feelings". Feelings come and go...ebb and flow...are up, down, sideways, upside down...and they are more importantly...fleeting.

I believe real and true love to be a commitment. It's committing to never leaving your mates side...no matter how you may "feel" at the moment.

All those crazy, adrenilized feelings are oh so yummy. But they don't last. However, what some people don't even consider is that if you stand fast through the disillusionment, you get to peace and then.....more googly feelings. It's a cycle. Anyhoo....that's my two cents.

Ahh..for some it is hard, others roll it off the tongue like silk.

hold on I'll get your change.....lol

Well I was married 7 years and we managed to make those feelings last. Every time I see my last girlfriend I get a lump in my throat. So I think it's whether you want to put forth an effort to hold onto those feelings or let them subside.

Which is why I watch for the actions and the words to all match up.
