How true dear Socrates ..
In society today , so much is viewed as disposable , including love .
To be truly and deeply in love ,sharing a love that will endure through all life's up's and downs ,is surely the ultimate goal .
So difficult to find though .
Enjoyed reading this Socrates -warm wishes as always my friend -F

mature love is the love we need when we realize what we originally sought held nothing of what matters, of what's eternal

thanks socrates, and happy new year

socrates,

I enjoyed your poem and what you say is so true. I can see now how I should have chosen a better kind of love. Nice write. Take care my friend. Blessings and Peace, Pink.

Most definitely socratees, I tend to agree, short and sweet, and to the point

How simple and yet so true my dear JB. Yes in time, I believe we become so cautious and use our minds and reason more than just impulsively forced solely by the calls of the heart. Our defense mechanism is such a force that sometimes wall our guards to not be shaken and or hurt again, and somehow, this is more where I can relate at the moment..Be very cautious and not too much in a haste. Having said that, though, doesn't mean I will not be likely to be hurt again, but such is the nature of falling in love, it can be just as fast as falling out of love, no matter how much we became seasoned by its passing.

Thanks for the share. Such a seed of wisdom, really.
