Title:
Here is the question: Love.
What is it? Absolute and unshakable? Eternal and undying? Faithful and true?
Oh, really?
Have you ever been to a dance? Even seen the way a guy will look right over his girlfriend's shoulder while he is slow dancing with her and give some other girl the eye?
Even kind of thought about your boyfriend's best friend, or even his own brother? Don't lie. You know you have.
So what is love? Something that lasts a week or a month and that's all you can expect? Or is it just that some loves have a short shelf life? You know, like yogurt: after a week or two they go bad.
And how do you recognise the other kind of love, the kind that isn't like yogurt? The kind that's more like... I don't know, like peanut butter, that lasts forever and always tastes good?
Okay, maybe not peanut butter. But you get the idea.
So, getting back to the point, what's love? I guess no one can even be totally sure, and after all, I am just seventeen. Cut me some slack; I can't be expected to know everything. I finally understand the War of 1812, and that is hard enough without having to worry about defining love in a hundred words or less.
Still, I have learned some things about love, especially lately. And I know a lot more about it now than I did, say ...
...two years ago.
