Headstall's Reflections - 35. Chapter 35 Love Will

I do adore your romantic soul True love would do so many things for us, but you're absolutely right, all I really need is to know its there waiting to hold me when I return home.

Exactly, Lit. No grand gestures... just love me... cheers... Gary....

Nice Gary. I'm not quite the romantic you are, but my relationship with Michael is everything to me. Even when it's damaged, I'll fight for it rather than walk away. And he's always been there when I needed him.
Thanks for this.. tim xo

You're a lucky man, and so is he... thanks for your support, timmy... cheers... Gary xoxo

Oh, this is sooooo good! I want to wrap this up as a present to all those who I hold dear, I want to keep it by my bedside for days when I feel crummy. It is awesome, Gary. You really caught it perfectly this time!

Thank you so much, Parker. This one poured out like quicksilver, so I'm pleased it worked for you... sometimes it's best not to mess with what bursts forth, I guess... cheers... Gary....

Thank you, Def. I'm so pleased you liked it... there can be pain to love, but it can be wonderful too... what it gives... cheers... Gary....

I used to think that Love is what separates us from other species, but research has shown that this may not be true--there are many species who mate for life, and pine away when their mate dies, and most shockingly surprising of all--there are some humans who don't feel it at all.
Perhaps what truly separates us from other species is the Hope that we'll find that One True Love--and continue the search if we don't succeed....I'm dismayed that in our search, we can never be certain that we've found it--all the signs may be there, but since we can't become one with another person's innermost thoughts, there lingers some tiny niggle of doubt?
Perhaps only in our dreams can we find that undoubted and eternal love, and that's why romantic fiction exists, to spur us on in our quest?

Interesting thoughts, CG. I agree humans aren't the only ones who feel love. You only have to look into a dog's eyes to know how they feel about their person. In my experience, I feel I always know when someone loves me... I can be fooled, but not for very long. But, sometimes love, by itself, is not enough. They can still love you, and not be the best person. I never want the grand gestures... just the security... much love to you, my dear friend... and I think you're right that romantic fiction fills a very important void for many... cheers... Gary....

Love. It shouts to the highest peak and whispers in the wind...

Gary, I love where your thoughts took you with this poem.

 

As always, nicely done, my friend.

Exactly! And the whispers are just as powerful as the shouts... thank you, Reader
