i have seen a lot of my friends who are madly in love or should i say were.they were just crazy about each other and just could not think of anything other than each other.this was for a pretty long period and then they are now here where dont even care to give a glance at eachother.if love is eternal thenwhy does this feeling die by the time .i know they have become matre but yet they have become selfish about themselves.i think that there is no such thing as love.

It seems that people sometimes mistake attraction for love. And while being attracted to someone may bring two people together, it isn't enough to sustain a relationship. Love I think is built between two people over time. It is manifested in trust, respect, admiration and unconditional regard. I have seen this kind of love especially between older couples that have been together for many years. When I have seen it reflected in their eyes and in the way they treat each other, I am in awe. I believe that love exists and is one of the most beautiful things that humans are capable of.
