'I said it and dare to be misquoted!'

'LOVE'...yes i said it!in the evolution that is the making of a man,the word and everything it represents is considered a reserve of the woman, a taboo to speak of and an embarrassment to be heard speaking of. This is not to say that the feeling is one not experienced by men, but rather, it is a feeling we prefer to capture in the way we treat its recepient. Women on the other hand, relate to this word with all their eleventy one senses but sight. They want to feel its aura in the room, they yearn for its aroma in the air, they want it spoken of every chance they get and most of all they they want it spoken to them in prose and poetry.. romantics the bunch of them. Men on the other hand deal with love more practically by going out their way to smother their women with security, be it financial, emotional or physical. Men have a more active approach to love, that sadly comes across as passive. Why? because love as an action does not speak louder than words! A lot of men out there have found themselves arm twisted into saying 'I(you know what)you!', and it may not make sense to you because your doing everything you possibly can short of saying it to prove you do. So why the second degree? To be honest, i have no idea, but look at it this way. Love does not just represent an emotion or fleeting moment of passion, it represents much more. It is an institution. Built on principles, centred on values, engineered by 'je ne sais quoi!', plagued by variables, measured on expectation but cushioned by reassurance. So much time and energy is put into love and women constantly need to know its worth the calloused heart. However flawed, perhaps hearing it is the only way it can be quantified. It is by no means a true reflection of the reality on the ground, as it can function as a lie just as easily as it can function as the truth. If we actually mean it, then it shouldn't be too hard to say or mean, and is it too much to ask....?I empathise! I stop!
