Gold standard

Never having known something I can imagine it, but I don't crave it. 

That is true for almost everything. 

I can't miss what I never had, but what if I thought I had it?

Is that the same thing?

All my life I imagined the perfect love. To have that I would be willing to do things I would never do for 99 percent of the people I know. It would be a commitment of the heart and my heart is pretty specific. I've known a lot of people I like a lot, but only one I thought might be my perfect love.

That, unfortunately turned out to be a scam, but then maybe that's why it seemed perfect. If it never really occurs it can be anything it wants. Still, it sets a gold standard that may never be replicated in my lifetime.

In my mind, it happened and anything less is -- LESS.
