So I've been thinking. You hear all see love stories about the guy and the girl who fall madly in love. And then for some reason they have to leave each other. But because of their unending love for each other they stay in contact. Using letters. Hand written letters that come from the core of their hearts. Letters that were the lifeline to their love. The only things that kept their spark burning. And the sad thing is.... Now-a-days people's love doesn't have that spark. That undying need to be close to the person they are meant to spend their forever with. The addiction to just simply look in that other persons eyes and see the amazing amount of love swelling up in them when they look at each other. It's sad that that spark , that invisible, fierce spark is so rarely seen anymore. In most of our relationships we say that spark is evident. But we are only lying to ourselves. We say we have that undying need, that addiction, but we don't. The truth is, 50% of people will never truly find that spark. A quote has become very popular from one of my favorite movies. It says "we accept the love we think we deserve" and it's so unbelievingly true. We accept the love we think we deserve and never search beyond that standard we set for ourselves. So my question for you is, why have love letters disappeared? I mean obviously technology has a major part in that. But why has the undying need, and the addiction disappeared? We use the term love so loosely. Any person we date we suddenly love. And any person who's willing we date. It's okay to love everyone! That's how it should be! But I'm talking about the romantic type of love. The love with the addiction. The love we see in movies, and hear in fairy tales. The love that's been in hiding for so many years. Why don't we see that kind of love in real life anymore? ...............The kind of love, love letters had.
