True Love

Familiarity breeds contempt they say
Just as absence makes the heart grow fonder
Is this the reason couples fight and stray
Seeking their true love way out yonder?

Hey Robert…your piece gives one pause, I think! There is plenty of adultery. Each adltrerer has some “good” reason?? Morality barely exists, it seems to me. The 10 commandments are in the latrene. So, faithfulness no longer matters. Only, “if it feels good do it?….. Worse..”my body, my choice”. Huggs, Pangie.

Occasionally love is a contradiction in terms. Inteligent remark.

Love, definitely a double-edged sword, Victor
