    Of course. My children. If your answers to things are anything like your questions about things, you might want go over them at least twice.

    But to answer what I think you're asking: Yes. But you have to want to. Or, at the opposite end of the spectrum of possibilitiy: Yes. If you don't have the initiative or energy to do otherwise.

    Do we believe that we can be loved and desired by someone based on measure of which we will choose to love that someone our whole life and be ready to die for?
    Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
    Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
    Towards the sun, carry your name
    In warm hands you are given
    Ask the wind for the way
    Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
    Accept all as it is and do not blame

    Sometimes, I browse the forums, and see somthing that strikes a cord in my heart. The above is that kind of post.

    I love my parents. That's all I can say - how fortunate and proud I am, to have them in my life.

    As much as I would like to claim credit for this poem. No, it's not mine. The short poem "My Demon" was actually written by Mihayeel Lermontov in 1829. The poetry of the ancients, how interesting that it can still ring the bell today...

    Based on my relationship experience so far, I'm starting to become a little jaded.

    But I still hold out hope that maybe this could be possible.

    No, unless the couple is mentally handicapped, or unless you are talking about your children. Romantic love doesn't last, but at best can be replaced with another kind of love. Sorry.

    That's a sadly cynical view, Shh! Keep in mind it's all relative. Ever hear of the phrase "passion grande"? It refers to the love affair you know will be your last before you die.

    Whether it lasts a lifetime or not rather depends on when you fall in love, as well as how willing both people are to do what it takes to stay together.

    Despite stereotypes about women being more emotional, I find that males tend to be more romantic about matters of love. I don't wish to sound cynical; I am merely being practical based on observation. Besides, i did allow for the fact that romantic love can evolve into something else just as significant.

    Shh!, I agree. I also have noticed that men are more romantic about love. I don't think romantic love lasts forever, but I do think it evolves into another form of love.
