I am not a believer in love at first sight. For love in its truest form is not the thingof starry-eyed or star-crossed lovers it is far more organic requiring nurturing and timeto fully bloom and as such seen best not in its callow youth but in its wrinkled maturity.Like all living things love too struggles against hardship and in the process shedsits fatuous skin to expose one composed of more than just a storm of emotionone of loyaltyand divine friendship. Agape. And though it may be temporarily blinded by adversityit never gives in or up holding tight to lofty ideals that transcend this earth andtimewhile its counterfeit simply concludes it was mistaken and quickly runs off tofind the next real thing.
