TILL DEATH DO US PART. The Sappy Song "I WANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU" tells us so.

Do you have Butterflies in your Tummy this morning?

THERE'S SUCH A THING CALLED ETERNAL LOVE?

Well ..... maybe.

True LOVE is so sappy sweet (drool ...)

Now, separate the REEL world from the REAL world.

The movies will always portray a thousand versions, if you're gullible.

In REAL life, actors and actresses fall in and out of love easily, as the paparazzi will tell you,

LOVE can blissfully arrive one Spring morning at your front door, when you least expect it.

For the same token, love can hurriedly exit by the back during a bleak Winter,

Happiness is transient?

Nothing stays forever?

Joy. Heartbreaks.

Maybe it's a case-to-case basis.

We need to take everything in one stride,

Falling in love is a part of living,

Breaking up is a passage in life.

Regardless of WHY and HOW we come together with someone we love,

If ever there is an ending to the relationship that is not of our choosing

it usually comes with great emotional and physical pain, rejection and guilt,

HEALING takes time.

There's GRIEF ....

coupled with anger and other strong emotions that'd be in turmoil.

ETERNAL LOVE is not impossible.

The 1998 movie THE WEDDING SINGER starring ADAM SANDLER and DREW BARRYMORE is a classic example:

Take this cue from the movie clip attached above:

"Good afternoon, everyone,

We're flying at 26,000 feet, moving up to 30,000 feet,



and we've got clear skies all the way to Las Vegas.

Right now, we're bringing you some in-flight entertainment.

One of our first class passengers would like to sing you

a song inspired by one of our coach passengers.

And since we let our first class passengers do

pretty much whatever they want,

here he is." -  Billy Idol

song:

" I wanna make you smile,

whenever you're sad.

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad.

Oh, all i wanna do, is grow old with you.

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches,

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks.

Oh, it could be so nice, growin' old with you.

I'll miss you, kiss you,

Give you my coat when you are cold,

need you, feed you.

I'll even let you hold the remote control.

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink,

put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.

Oh I could be the man who grows old with you.

I wanna grow old with you ..."


Again, we pop the question. 

CAN LOVE BE ETERNAL? (blissfully)

Yes, it could.

Nothing is unattainable.

Remember the opening strains of this old song "RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET"?

"Red sails in the sunset,

Way out on the sea,

Oh carry my loved one

Home safely to me ..."

AND IF WE DO NOT EVEN TRY,

THEN HOW'S THE HECK ARE WE TO KNOW?
