Those who profess by
Love at first sight,
Are also the ones
Brainwashed by the notion
Love is blind.
Like a fine wine
Mellowed by age,
A taste enhanced,
And value soared,
Love that has withstood
The test of time,
Seen the ebb and flow
Of life,
Good times and the bad,
That’s the love
That thrives.
The wrinkles of time,
Unkind to the beautySkin deep,
Dims the sights,
Enhancing the glow
That burns steadily
Deep down in the heart,
Whispers,
Love is not blind,
Love is not blind.
Blind love is actually the crush and the infatuation, misunderstood by enthusiastic youngsters. Well-penned Pranab.

I agree, but where does love begin? If it starts before the wrinkles is it doomed to be shallow? Or is true love the love that sees beyond what there is to see, to what really is, always and forever?

You’d think so.

One will feel when it is right. When you feel the pain if the one you love is away from you, even temporarily.

I think there’s a dose of luck involved too. I imagine most couples think they’ve found the right partner only for it to go pear shaped after a few months. Luck and a hard work too. It’s hard for some people to be completely selfless and that’s how you (both) have to be. Some never give enough.

Very likely. Too many people raised on American soaps and Disney pap.

Now you have it! Content and style and attitude and wisdom and counsel. Did I cover everything? You and Jane had lots of “smarts” in your conversation. I think hardly anyone really loves when they marry. Love comes with shared pleasures and agonies. One is wise to choose someone to marry who is committed long term.

Love can be blind, deaf, and DUMB. Notice the caps on the latter half.

Government forgot to advise stress relief for sat at home spouses when ordering work from home😭. Not very productive with two kids and better half at home.
