Tribute to Love
-
A moment to consider, if you please, the ramblings of a confused woman. When you love someone,  you give a part of yourself over to a dream which has been with us since time began.  Even if the other person is indifferent to your feelings, or simply unaware, it matters not.  The elusiveness and fluidity of the concept make it all the more desirable, and there is a certain satisfaction in the thought that you have contributed to eternity.  Part of the appeal of timeless love stories is that they communicate the idea of what we think we want in life.  But think on this.  One single person can never love another forever, being as there is no forever in life. Yet that person's love could touch another, and influence yet another. Thus, the dream would continue,  and others would come to know that sweetest and most painful of all emotions. Love is eternal, the hearts that bear it,  are not.
