What does the word Love mean to you

Feb 10, 2005 23:23

"Does losing your Memory really make you that lonely?" Roger looks uncomfortable. He gives me a glance as he is driving and tells me it is a hard question to answer. I am unsure whether or not I should ask him the other question. But Roger will pester me until I tell him because he cannot stand a mystery.

"Roger, I love you." And I squeeze his ribs hard. He grunts and tries to push himself away, but, for all of his strength, he cannot escape the circle of my arms. He tries to reason with me, but the program Beck has installed makes me deaf to him. As my arms crush the air from his lungs and his eyes begin to cloud with pain, I finally see what I am doing to him. There is a strange sensation and I let him go just as everything goes off-line.

"If we had no Memories and we met, would we fall in love, too?" And he does not answer me. Love is not something he thinks about. Humans are strange that way. They all want to find love, but they want it to be easy, comfortable, but find that it is not. The union of two different minds and hearts means compromise, tears, anger, joy, tenderness and many other emotions and states that often conflict or cause things to become difficult. Humans celebrate it and curse it at the same time.

Love is complicated. To attempt to define it is to make it meaningless.
