What's Love Got To Do With It?

Sometimes you'd just like to do away with the I Love Yous. You know they aren't true anyway. And sex is free.

When the loneliness gets to you, all you want is to feel someone's body next to yours. That warmth of someone's arms around you makes up for the emptiness in your life. Even if it is only for that night. Or only for that hour. But is even that worth it?

Sure, it feels good. Sure you can shun convention, already being a social rebel in the eyes of everybody around you. But how long can you keep lying to yourself? How long can you pretend that everything's ok, when it's not? How long can you say that this temporary love is enough for you, when even you know the tearing ache that goes through you when the body that held you, gets up and walks out the next minute?

So what is the solution? Look for love? Wait for something that could never be? I think it is to look for love where it really exists and not look for it where you'll only get fakeness/pretence. Don't overlook it when you find it.
