The Holiday

I have found almost everything
ever written about love...

... to be true.

Shakespeare said,
"Journeys end in lovers meeting. "

What an extraordinary thought.

Personally, I have not experienced
anything remotely close to that...

...but I`m more than willing to believe
Shakespeare had.

I suppose I think about love
more than anyone really should.

I`m constantly amazed by its sheer
power to alter and define our lives.

It was Shakespeare who also said,
"Love is blind. "

Now, that is something
I know to be true.

For some, quite inexplicably...

...Iove fades.

For others...

...Iove is simply lost.

But then, of course,
love can also be found.

Even if just for the night.

And then there`s
another kind of love.

The cruelest kind.

The one that almost kills its victims.

It`s called unrequited love.

Of that, I am an expert..

Most love stories are about people
who fall in love with each other.

But what about the rest of us?
What about our stories?

Those of us who fall in love alone.

We are the victims
of the one-sided affair.

We are the cursed
of the loved ones.

We are the unloved ones.
The walking wounded.

The handicapped without the
advantage of a great parking space.

Yes, you are looking at one
such individual.

And I have willingly loved...
