It might be a bit sudden but listen seriously to the question I'm about to ask and think about the answer carefully.

The question, Is there real love?

These days, all youth love to talk about love. They boast that their lover is attractive and rich. You see couples left and right with their partners in tow, but I have yet to see couples who last for years. They tell their partners that they'll never leave them, then after a week, they act like total strangers to each other. Some promised each other they'll be there when they need them but disappear when they matter the most. These are what they call real love between lovers.

Is that true? I wondered

Love and lust are two different things. Just because you slept together the other night doesn't mean there's love. Kissing or Holding hands don't mean a thing. None of these give any meaning to your relationship. If there is one thing, it shows just how lustful you are.

I understand not all people go for lust, that there are still those who choose to believe that there is real love out there for them. Their hopes are trampled upon yet continue to walk the path they believe. In my opinion, it's nothing but a worthless gamble because I have experienced being trampled upon by these false hopes that there is real love waiting out there.
