Do you believe in true love?
True love. The territory of poets for hundreds of years. How can I doubt it? I come from a long line of people who have found true love. My husband and I got engaged after six weeks after we met, married after three months and have been together for forty-three years! My parents were together in love for 60 some years, and separated only by death. My grandparents on my father's side were together happily for many years, again parted only by death.
That doesn't mean it's been all sunshine and roses. We've had our rough spots, like most people. But we've never given up on each other, and I think that's what makes it true love. We're growing old together—not so gracefully—and I firmly believe we'll live up to our wedding vow of 'until death do us part.'
Romantic love isn't the only kind of true love. Parents and children, siblings, even good friends can all know true love in different forms. And how about pets? The animals who choose to live with us can sense our feelings and know when we need an extra cuddle or a warm furry body that needs a head scratch. Because they demand so little in return, their love may be one of the truer forms of the emotion.
So yes, I believe in true love. And in the words of the old song
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone
Songwriters: Burt F. Bacharach / Hal David
Now I'm off to find out how the other authors feel about true love.
