Love Theme Essay, Research Paper

They say to love is a beautiful thing They say to love is work, but is worth it.

Alas, they say to love is to be eternally happy. But who exactly is ?they??

And I can?t help but wonder if ?they? themselves have ever truly been in

love. I say to love is to devote your time to the boy down the road, and then be

dumped. 5 months wasted! I say to love is to be artificically shown affection,

and when it is at it?s best, vanishes as quickly as it came. I say to love is

to feel the joy of victory by winning the eye of the guy you like, and then

feeling the agony of defeate when he is taken away by the blonde girl with curly

hair; forever! I say to love is to expose your most precious expression; your

innocence, and to have it stripped away from you like the youth from the old.

All that is left is a torn soul. I say to love is to become someone that you

aren?t. You never jumped before when the phone rang. You never painted your

nails or wore skirts, and now look at you. You used to be true and original, but

now?. I say to love is to be changed permanently. Once that first glance, the

first affectionate touch, and the first kiss occours, you want it, no, you need

to have it all the time. You become a monster who?s hunger can?t be fed, and

then you are crushed when the only thing you think you need never calls back and

just walks away. Most things that are bad or are harmful in this world, we

become afraid of. We try to form a ?safety blanket? of laws to protect us.

But what about love? It hurts too doesn?t it? Should we do 10-15 years for

every phone calls not returned? No, that wouldn?t work. Should we do 20-25

years for every heart we break? No, I don?t think that is it either. Should we

lock ourselves up inside and never show vulnerability? No, then no one would

like us. So I suppose that to love, Well, quite simply to love is to be hapy

sad, angry, frustrated and mad. To be giddy jumpy, as sweet as pie, and then to

be balling crying, and not knowing why. Sure, it?s not fair, but still we take

every hit! But hey, we are women.
