...what do you reckon it read?
It said the gal you love is dead.
I got a letter this morning...what do you reckon it read?
Said "Hurry hurry! Because the gal you love is dead."
Well I packed up my suitcase...took off down the road. When I got there she was laying on the cooling board.
It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burial ground. I didn't know I loved her till they began to let her down
You know it's so hard to love someone that don't love you. Won't get satisfaction...don't care what you do.
So hard to love someone that don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction. Don't care what you do.
Well I got up this morning...the break of day.
Just hugging the pillows she used to lay.
Got up this morning...the break of day.
Just hugging the pillows where my baby used to lay.
-"Letter" written by Jack White
In response to http://www.ubersite.com/m/78665 , I'd just like to say that a relationship might be the riskiest and dumbest thing into which one can venture. On the flip-side, it has the greatest of rewards: companionship, love, and respect.
Paths inexorably divide and people will always differ in views, but what makes a relationship work is a combination of love, respect, and the ability to compromise. If one of those components is missing, the relationship has no ability to survive.
It has gotten to a point where if you watch, say, a talk show, and a guest says "yes, I've been married for two years now," people applaud. People are applauding because divorce is so commonplace in our culture that an actual 'surviving' relationship astounds us. And to me, that is sad.
Where is the love? What happened to 'til death do us part?' Why are so many people racing towards the finish line at such a young age only to realize that they've made a very erroneous decision? What happened to "you make me want to be a better man" and "if you make her laugh, you have a life" (from "As Good as it Gets")?
I believe that true romances are only possible in movies now. People have fantasized too much about 'the perfect relationship' only to be disappointed when reality deals them a different hand. What people fail to realize is that 'perfect' can never exist. 'Perfect' is a construct of the human mind which can never exist in the real world.
And yes, I've been hurt in relationships before. I've also hurt others. I'm trying to grow from all my life experiences but it seems as though the more I search for perfection, the more I find inconsequential minutiae. It's sad, really. But I will persist. Because you never know.

Yeah, it sucks. It's really, really, really difficult not to become bitter.

People used to stay together because they didn't have a choice. Not because of romance.
"Love" is nothing else than the same sentiment you get when you buy new stuff, until you get bored.
