Looking for love was something we were brought up to do. My generation often went to college to get that infamous MRS.
The world was full of movies on love. West Side Story, Romeo and Juliet, My Fair Lady, Camelot, the list goes on and on, but real love isn't that cut and dried.
Romance is easy. A girl can fall into romance so easily. She can write her own love story and fill in the details.
But it takes two for true love and I don't think I ever met the man who was meant to be my true love, my now and forever love, the one and only person willing to know me and share himself, who was worth walking through fire.
I know the love I have for my children and I have never experienced anything remotely close to that with another adult human being.
I think that kind of adult love is very rare, and I realize it is something that grows out of time, but I doubt if it is something I will ever know in this life.
Still, it is a beautiful concept.
