LOVE! WHERE IS LOVE?
By JohnnyD

Love! Where is Love?

 

Looks doesn’t matter any more

As long as you have the moolah

If gifts doesn’t flow in regularly

No matter how much you care

Love! Where is love?

 

Sparkling diamonds, flashy cars

Designers’ outfits will always define love

How you are in bed

Doesn’t matter any more

Love! Where is love?

 

I love you

Three little words doesn’t mean a thing any more

Caring and missing each other

Being together for each other

Love! Where is love?

 

Yearning to be in tight embrace

Passé are the emotions of togetherness

Dried petals of roses

Sweet fragrant long love letters

Love! Where is love?

 

Those ticking hours

That long wait

Those loving memories

And that lovely togetherness

Love! Where is love?

 

Emotions built in two hearts

Thoughts transcending as one

Those anticipating moments

Smile capturing souls

Love! Where is love?

 

Oblivious of the world

Being in each other’s arms

Whispering sweet nothings

Those romantic naughty moments

Love! Where is love?

 

No matter how the relationship is

Is love all about money?

No matter how rude the person is

Is love just physical pleasure?

Love! Where is love?

 

Greed seeping in individuals

The emotion is resting in peace

The fast paced life

The faster have the achievers of love become

Love! Where is love?

Look here Johnny. Love is definitely about and there's many who are looking for it. Don't most people complain of broken relationships? Yes they do! My daughter - rather a quiet stay at home at the time - found it by joining Dateline 12 years' ago. It actually came in her first letter. They met and were engaged to be married within just over a week, and within 2 weeks they'd started making arrangements for the wedding. Now, 12 years on, with two lovely chidlren, they are just as happy as they were then. Love does exist - - - - - (from one who has been married almost 40 years to the same man). Put your specs on. Perhaps you're not looking in the right places.

Sadly I think you're probably right. People may claim not to be superficial, but don't we all want a beautiful wife and don't all women want a handsome and rich husband? 
 
I have been both good looking and less good looking and noticed the differences in people's behaviour. Now that I lost more than 10 kg and am approaching my former looks again, that may change for the better again, but I have no illusions about it anymore. 
 
People (probably including you and me) do select on looks and social class. Yet has it ever been differently?
