This is Real

That feeling was not dead.


It fooled me.


It was sleeping.


It awoke in a dream.


It is still there.


It is more real than reality.


I am alive again.

Forgive me being human.

But, are you speaking of love? Caring?

I read these words in a novel once, it goes something like, when a woman falls in Love for the first time it is with the man and after that, it is with the feeling. I wish I could quote. I do believe these words to be true.

Frankly, I am not sure of what I felt.

I don't know about that, partly because I'm not woman and partly because I don't really know what love does and does not entail, in its entirety. Falling in love, loving a person, I think those are two different things, founded on another, maybe.

The best thing I ever read about love was by a painter called Robert C. Wittig, who's link is featured on my own blog if you're interested. He wrote:

"To me, writing about love, is best done by not writing about love".

Now that I read my response to your first question, I realise that I was in a way addressing it to myself than answering your question. Pardon me.

I do agree with what you said, falling in love and loving a person are two different things. Although, I don't know much about the latter.

And yes, I was speaking of love or something like it.

It gave me an interesting insight in your mindset, so is was the worth the "error", to me. Don't worry about it.

I wonder who does know about love, let alone "a lot about love". I suppose some divine being would be an easy answer. Though, excerpts of divinity are not my forte, so best left untouched by yours truly.

In my 19 years on this planet I have just once fallen in love. I have no choice but to be modest in my view and consequental arrogance stemming thereof.

26 years of existence, I am still not sure if I have ever fallen in love or even if I am in love.

Anyways, if I may ask and I am curious, as to what is this interesting insight?

Why would you be in love?

Asking yourself that, not having to asnwer me of course, would probably do you some good in finding out your answer.

It showed me several things about you, to be honest. First, I noticed that you seem to be an honest person, somewhat disliking the fact that you couldn't quote.

Then, it also showed me that you are not of the romantic, mindless babble kind, linking love to the feeling itself, in other words, the biological effect and kick an individual gets out of it.

I also figured that you feel comfortable talking to me, sharing quotes you like. Which is nice, conversing freely with an, in my opinion, likeminded indivdidual.

Why would I be in Love?
Need to figure out that one.

I am not an honest person although I try to be. According to me Honesty is a strong word just like Art & Love, I use these words sparingly because I take them seriously.

Love is more than just a feeling, but then I am not sure if Love can or should always be reasoned.

I am indeed comfortable sharing my views with you. The best part being it happens without even realizing. Although, it is impressive how close you were in figuring out my mindset with just a paragraph, I guess.

I believe that honesty, love and art are all entwined within human nature, the human system.

Give me a month and I'll know you. Give me two and I'll understand.

In your case, this is holding true.
