We have a choice in 1998. Not every person wants love. Sex becomes sustenance, like food, for some. Other people want intense emotions. Make sure you both want the same thing, and if not, play a new flute.
People still love one another.
I still do. They are my friends. While we are young, some of us may choose to date around, but as we mature many desire an infinite game. We may want someone to rely on, to believe in, and to let our guards down with. Then again, we may not want to let anyone in.
