A simple philosophy on Love.

   First I will tell you how I arrived at this concept of love. 
 I was sitting down writing a poem that wasn't turning out to good(My girlfriend
had just broke up with me).  I couldn't concentrate and I was getting frustrated
real quick.  I read the first five lines of the poem, I then ripped it up and
threw it away.  I started thinking of her again and got a headache.  I put my
hands on my head and closed my eyes.  For lack of a better thing to do I tried
to see how far I could see into the darkness.  It was then I formed my philosophy,
or more or less it came to me.  It just popped in my mind.  It suprised me at 
the time.  But now I look at it with a sense of, I guess a mixture of happiness
and sadness (It's a feeling that I can't exspress in words).  Well here it is.
    My philosophy on love involves two people.  It's a physical thing but yet 
not phsical at all (I know it doesn't make much sense).  You hold your love 
and look at her from a distance admiring her at the same time.  But neither of 
you have a body like the one you have now.  The way I saw it was as a shimmering 
mass that was you and your love.  Both of you together.  You are spirits, Both 
one person and equal.  You two float in a void, much like the darkness when you
you close your eyes.  This void has no shape or size, no limits and restrictions.
You both are combined into one, together always.  Sharing all your thoughts, emotions 
joys and feelings.  Just feelings so intense and full of love and understanding
that you would cry.  No secrets or bad thoughts, no worring about the others
devtion.  There would be no need to worry.  You would never grow tired or 
bored.  It would never be false or misleading.  It would be total and pure, free 
of tarnishes.  It would be you two in complete harmony.  Both you and your love
content, no more then content, you both in PERFECT HAPPINESS.  You look at her
with eyes that are not there and you hold her with nonexistant arms.  Just 
two formless bodies drifting together.  Two make one
  If you ever find this love (Good Luck) then hold on to it, of course I don't
need to tell you that.  If you experirnce this love you wouldn't want to let
it go.  This love is like a religion.  But there is a catch though.  This love
doesn't exist on earth, it exists in places like in the darkness when you close your
eyes.  But if you do find this love know this, I truly envy you, for the happiness
you have.
   That's my philosophy.  It isn't writen very well or realy explain any thing,
it's one of those feelings that you can't put into words.  You may like this 
little philosophy or you may not.  You may say that this type of love is 
impossible or unatainable.  Maybe.  But I can still dream can't I.  But all I
really have to say though is simply put, Love is Love, no matter what you see 
it as.  You can try to argue with me but I doubt it would do any good.  Well 
that's all there is to it.  We don't have to have love but I don't think I 
could live without it.
