Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life-- Proverbs 4:23

I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said,

"Journeys end in lovers meeting."

What an extraordinary thought.

Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anymore really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said,

"Love is blind."

Now that is something I know to be true.

For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course, love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims.

It's called unrequited love. Of that, I am an expert.
