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.
