Love is but an illusion, a fantasy that often seems surreal. A sensual ploy to steal a kiss, and exploit intimate feelings. Lovers in a sexual rut shed no tears, for the other's pain. Passion's flame burns hotter than fire, and then, reality kicks in. And those feelings end when trust falls apart, chasing shadows cast by neon lights. For what is love but a promise of bliss, garnered from a whispered lie?

Congrats on your win. The outlook is forlorn but I am sure the mood will change when true love comes winging its way into the heart. Best wishes, Wen.
