Just for future reference, dont use words like love anymore. Its a very sensitive word and it wears out quickly. To put it into your terms, its a currency thats easily devalued. Pretty soon youre saying it whenever you hang up the phone or whenever you leave. It turns into an apology. Then its an excuse. Some assholes want it to be a bulletproof vest: dont hate me; I love you. But mostly it just means--more. More, more--give me something more. A couple of years from now, when youre on your own completely, if you really fall in love, if it really comes to that--and I pity you if it does--you have to look right down into the black of her eyes, right down into the emptiness in there and feel everything, absolutely everything she needs and you have to be willing to drown in it. Youd have to want to be crushed, buried alive. Because thats what real love feels like--choking. They used to bury some women in their wedding dresses, you know. I thought it was because all those husbands were too cheap to spring for another gown, but now it makes sense: love is your first foot in the grave. Thats why the second most abused word is forever. ― Peter Craig, Hot Plastic
