Those tire tracks
Zigzag your torso like a Devil's self portrait
The car accident, the skin graft treatment, the flower baskets
The wincing relatives...

You bid her farewell then got in your car
And that's the last thing that you can recall
And when they pulled you out
You didn't know your name
Exploding semi truck blurred your face with flame...

You met Jane four years ago today
Dancing at some vomit-stained frat party
Her newspaper gown, flashing headline brown, her violent gypsy dance
Her tired underpants...

Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Rhymes with pity now
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Rhymes with sympathy now

Jane let you touch and feel her
She was so free like a pineapple in a tree, but
You said it's dangerous
To be so intimate
You know it's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous

And Jane said when she laid on her back
The sun hit her body like an ugly landscape

But some things never get better
Like used cars and bad livers
So you traded her in for a better looking brand
One with fake porno tits
A pad lock on her lips
Disposable tan
Biodegradable hands

Back at the hospital
You got no visitors at all
She visits you in your sleep
But that newspaper gown is always on fire

Back at the hospital
You got no visitors at all
She visits you in your sleep
But that newspaper gown is always on fire

She met him a week after you left her
When you tossed out her touch to the garbage collector
He talked her out of her skirt in his beer-soaked apartment
And then they did all the things
You never said that you wanted
And the sirens are laughing underneath your skull
And your thoughts are turning dull, callous and cold
Yesterday you gave your burden a name
Yesterday you gave your burden a face

But your burden looks an awful lot like her

Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Rhymes with pity now
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Rhymes with sympathy now
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love

Why place paramaters on something isn't concrete. No one will agree, why is it you need standards to live up to or make your boyfriend live up to?

love is a mental condition where people do stupid and illogical things for someone else

It's true lol...and it only works when both parties are "stupid", that's when Cupid goes:" I'm getting better at archery".

My opinion would have to be that love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. - that u can guess is a textbook answer. hehehe ;)\

if u srsly think about each and every one of those characteristics it covers EVERYTHING love is and can be.

If you aren't greek then you can't quote Corinthians.
You can if you own a Bible.

And Cykologi_gal isn't Christian, just letting you guys know.

P.S. that is my fave passage from the Bible *shines*

then it is not a true and pure love... simple as that - if this is to happen then u must realise that it was a lustly connection that was established and not LOVE in the full meaning of the word.

no, what you're forgetting is that for love to work, two people have to feel equally strong. one person can love someone else very much, purely and truely, and still not have it work for them because its not what the other person wants. i count that as part of it failing, because love draws one into that situation.

thats wat i meant by saying LOVE in the "complete meaning of the word". in my opinion true and pure love can only be reached when both feel equally as passionate and strong about each other.

true love can't be reached by only one partner in other words. the love won't be true and strong at all because for love to succeed in truth, the same love must be received from the other partner.

only when both chanels are strong with pure love will there be success.

unfortunately nowadays many are getting married without that true and pure love, the result is the rising divorce rate.

pansys. love doesnt exist the way we think it does, simple chemical reaction is all.

other than that, i would have to say love is: anal

she lets you backdoor her? that love right there ;)

not at all. you made the statement that the alternative to love is lust. if its not love, its a lust-based relationship. however, this implies that the difference lust and love is that in a loving relationship one's emotions are returned and in a lustful relationship they are not. that seems, to me, to be a ridiculous idea, as the characteristics of love and lust are different.

you tried to criticise my statement about love as an emotion, but you then tried to misrepresent it about being about relationships. it wasn't. my statement was entirely about love as an emotion, and you don't need it reciprocated to feel love for someone. the discussion is defining 'love' not 'a healthy loving relationship'

and i stand by my statement of love failing too often. i think its one of the crueler emotions
