Love is a temporary madness,
it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides,
and when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness.
It is not excitement.
It is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just being 'in love' which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over
when being in love has burned away
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love have roots
that grow towards each other underground
and when all the pretty blossom has fallen from their branches
they find that they are one tree and not two.
