Unless you learn
to be selfish,
your relationships will
never work.
I know what you're going to say.
Love is about giving
and sharing
and buying her
a diamond.
It's about
long walks and
candle light...
WRONG
Love is about dirty lingerie and taking out the trash - and anyone who has been in a long term relationship knows there is a LOT of overlap.
Give me a kiss is a command. Love never gives kisses freely. Each peck on the cheek has a cost. Every hold of the hand is virtually passing cash. The Barter ship of romance is designed for perfect storms. The hatches are all battened down, sealing the deal. Every man becomes the cabin boy of his affection's desires, and the Captain of his destiny is the ever present notion of the idea of a perfect moment.
The truth is smeared make-up,and sticky stains that keep a black light busy. Bitches about dishes. Nags about price tags. The bone of contention that dogs us.
What cost Love...
