I don't know that I could identify with true love anymore, not in the way I did 40 years ago when the heart was expendable for the sake of the other, when self didn't matter and all the other feelings we have when "Love" takes over. Sometimes I wish I could have been more the way I am today back then as it would have saved many of my hearts and dollars. Now I could care less for it, though I do have some spurts of it. Considering that I've told my wife several times that upon winning the big lotto I would set her up with whatever she wanted and that I was chao chao bambino, whether I would follow through with that is another story, I may never want to leave her. I do have a great deal of love for her and I do call it love but it's not what it should be I guess, not sure. She is a great woman in a lot of ways, I will take care of her the best I can and protect her from anyone intending harm of any sort and kill if I had to, maybe that is the instinctive male in me, I don't do Ghandi. I still lust after women in the public arena who flaunt their sensuality and camo their wily ways. However I couldn't imagine having a relationship with them beyond patronizing passion and sometimes wonder if love is that thing in my mind or that thing in my pants. There are those that reveal a true sense of sincerity beyond the physical and are as you say most worthy of true love, but as you know, they can change. These days I just simply say, My Love, whatever my capacity is to love, that is how much I am capable of loving and you have all the love I am capable of.
