True Love

Beware - automotive analogy

You know, true love, in a way, equates to one's favorite automobile. Especially for guys, we tend to lust after the cars of our youth, and we never forget them.

I'm a late fifties model - came out the same fall as the Edsel. Now, for that time period, the full-sized luxury sedans had larger engines than the sports cars. Even though they weighed more, they would go just as fast.

If I'm involved with a family sedan type, and we cruise the subdivisions, we putt along nicely, and we get there eventually.

I happen to meet a sports model. We hit the highway, or a back country road, and open it up. We haven't known each other long, but we push each other to top speed soon.

That sports model can make it hard to go back home with that sedan. Truth is, though, if you were ever to take the sedan out on some of those same roads, I'll bet the ride is just as good, if not better, and you can go every bit as fast, getting all the thrills, too.

Just my experience. Did I lose you? PM me, and I'll draw you a picture....

Did my analogy have a bit much testosterone for you? I thought, that in terms of a couple of the previous posts, that it was ever so on time, so to speak.

Sometimes, we don't appreciate what we have because it is right under our noses.

I've been out driving the old huge truck tonight. Threw some coal to the old girl, too. If I had an S/O, I'd have taken her with me, or been at home not taking her for granted.

Been taken, and taken for granted, too.

I am capable of mush, but I am also a profound realist.

I have always enjoyed driving.
 
I don't quite take on the car approach, :) but I think something similar...

The way we love goes through an evolutionary process. We have experience different kinds of love depending on what is going on in our life at a the time. It might be true love each time, but for different reasons. I think true love is simply an emotion that can make everything seem wonderful, at least for the time being...

Don't know if these words make sense on paper, but they make sense in my head! Sorry, but its too hard to attach that to an email. lol

and you need your head...lolo
I like this direction that you are coming from with the idea of true love........
maybe that is what is is....different reasons for each time..one finds love...
thank you

it has given me some ideas to run around in my head, too.
 
I'm of two minds about the one true love concept. I've been lucky to have loved deeply, passionately, and intensly two very different, but equally as amazing girls. Both I think could have been long lasting, but only one I could have married. That's the one that haunts my dreams and nightmares, the one that got away, the big what if. True love is the one you end up with. Love on the other hand is far broader and more inclusive as well as more general. What I wouldn't give to have another run at that girl.
