The price one pays for love is by far the most accurate gauge of its intensity. Love in its truest form asks for the most impossible and difficult, a sacrifice that will change the course of a lover s destiny. The greatest sacrifice at times is not even the loss of life but that of the love itself. It feels like being eating up alive, having to watch them make a life one is not part of. Yet, it is a test of love that one stays true to a course that is beneficial and put one s lover first.
Self becomes last in love, putting each other first a constant sacrifice.
Love holds no guarantees, makes no promises and takes no prisoners. No one can hurt you more than your lover. Most people expected he would sacrifice his love for the woman for the love of his Country. There is a lot more stories of heroism for love less celebrated perhaps but no more important. With all the pain associated with love, anyone with an iota of sense would be wise to keep well away.
