I want it all to last forever.

I’ve been talking to people about love. On a message board. On the Internet. And I’m learning something. People have all kinds of definitions for love. Some of ‘em think that romantic love really isn’t love. That romance is generally short-lived. It doesn’t last. And eventually it turns into routine love. When lovers more or less go through the motions. But I feel romantic virtually every day. The kind of love expressed by a poet. Or a rather young person. But the older I get, the more romantic I feel. It’s as if I’m drifting on a cloud. Gives me joy. And contentment. Peace of mind and spirit. I’m really in love with someone. And with life. And I want it all to last forever. –Jim Broede
