can we fall out of love as easily as we fell into it? if so, were we even in love?
a lot of songs talk about a had-been love. many claim to have been in love, only to find themselves falling out of it. then was it truly love they experienced, or a strong attraction that fades with time? was it lust? was it an admiration towards certain attributes/talents?
consequently, the question that begs to be asked is, what is love?
does love really last forever? if it doesn't, that means the reason for one's love must have changed. but that would mean loving with condition. how then can that be love?
so are we capable of loving?
imperfectly, as we are i suppose. perhaps.
but then why the commandments to love if we are incapabable?
surely i have loved. but how do you explain the varying intensity of my love? at times it is passionate. others, it seems to be hanging by a thread.
God is love.
where does that leave us? mere recipients of that love? mortals who strive to love in the best way possible not knowing if we're doing it right, but knowing perfection is not within our reach?
i do not know. maybe.

hey there, after the butterflies and clouds have faded, loving someone is more about a commitment and decision you make... and real love, like God's is unconditional... not easy, but we have the perfect example to follow ;)
