maybe love isn't meant to last forever. maybe what people who have been together for years see as being "in love" is really just "comfort." and we all like to be comfortable. we all like familiarity.
maybe we're meant to love a person for now. and then when that fades, we're meant to find someone else who we can love until that fades. and so on. maybe we aren't supposed to have only one real true great love. maybe we're meant to have many.
maybe marriage and the idea of eternal love are just boundries set by religions. maybe it's a form of self discipline.
or maybe it depends on the person. maybe some people just simply don't have the capacity to love only one person. but maybe some people can and do fall in love once and stay there forever.
i suppose the big question is, if we really are only meant to have one love, how do we know if the person we spend our whole lives with is the person we're supposed to be with? how do we know we aren't cheating ourselves or someone else out of their great love?
how do we ever really know?
