Love Is Friendship On Fire

[ravensong]

"Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete, like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence."

Oh sweetheart! You absolutely got me all atwitter and lovey dovey. I completely agree in so many ways! You and the details in your description of love are so completely dead on. *LIKE*

I hope those small happy moments happen often and are always in every day you spend together.

The airport thing already did happen. Ang is away at a fighting game tournament in Las Vegas this weekend and I had to find him a ride home from the airport. Obviously, I did :P

But thanks. "Warm fuzzy feeling" just never cut it for me in a description of love and I often enjoy trying to figure out the best way to describe it. <3

It's funny how many people expect it to be a kin to having a doting slave you respect. Instead of making it realistic and about acceptance and similarities. That's what makes the small smile, and opening the door for us so important. Because THAT's about respecting each other and having time together.

I love the story of the little mermaid. As a child it made me cry so many times. I found it deeply romantic. It is true that being away from people you love gives a feeling of lack. An emptiness that nothing can fill. Although you can try to fill it with eating or drinking or smoking or shopping. That is just a temporary way to numb the missing.
