    Withdrawal
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    If you love someone, you have chemical bond in your brain. When you are around them the bond is satisfied. When you are away from them the thoughts enter your mind to satisfy the desire to be with them and satisfy the chemical bond.

    All of the symptoms that people experience with withdrawal from love are similar in characteristics to withdrawal from recreational drugs like cocaine.

    Love is a really potent drug that can become immediately addictive. Never-the-less it is a drug and that explains the withdrawal symptoms.

    So, basically, what I mean to say is, if you have the withdrawal symptoms you are in love. But that doesn't mean it's the mystical, last-forever, fantasy love. That doesn't exist.

    your friends and having fun. Eventually this develops in to marriage, failure to answer ones cellular, putting the toilet seat down upon finishing and becoming absolutely utterly lame when it comes to hanging out :D

    generally, you kind of just know.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    lol, my toilet seat is always down, I live alone. The lid is also always down. Anyway, that's a whole different issue most men and women seem to be pretty self-centred and myopic about.

    when you meet a woman you like you watch out for these symptoms?

    well done, I had not thought of it this way before, but in my experience it's quite accurate. It seems a little different though as I age and have been through 2 or 3 good withdrawals now.

    oh and for the record, peeing sitting down is kind of nice, I can read for a bit, enjoy the quiet privacy of the room, I am just annoyed at the demand for my always having to remember to lower the lid as if females would contract some disease from having to touch the lid or look at toilet water.

    I have to give credit to the scientific community. Howstuffworks.com and Wikipedia.com

    Thanks though :)

    Insist that the lid/cover be placed down to protect objects from falling into the toilet water. That's what I do. My toilet lid is always down. My ex insisted I put the seat down and I insisted she put the lid down. It ended up being me going after her for leaving the lid up.

    One time, she went to the washroom, opened the door and began brushing her teeth. I noticed she'd left the lid up and kindly asked her to place it down, she did. Moments later she bumped the sink and my brush fell off, hit the lid of the toilet and bounced onto the floor. So I said "See, that is exactly why I say 'put the lid down'".

    When you buy a 4k diamond engagement ring and ask that person to spend the rest of their life with you. :)
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    I take that as a sign of ignorance. Maybe love.

    Diamonds are just compressed carbon. Da Beers!

    Well the satisfaction of the chemical bond and the withdrawal symptoms are biochemical reactions which you are probably looking for. Weak knees, sweat, lack of focus, impaired judgement, etc...

    I was focusing more on the lifetime together thing...

    The ring is the symbol...

    Hehe, I know. A poor symbol though.

    Love is...

    Trust
    Having nothing to hide
    When you can honestly say you'd lay your life on the line for that person,
    When you feel complete knowing that he/she is in your life
    I'll cut you in.

    when you don't give a damm about anything else except to know what that other individual is up to ,or when you walk out into the middle of traffic because you were thinking about this person and you realize this when you hear the car honking the horn to wake you up ..

    Love is blindness
    I dont want to see
    Wont you wrap the night
    Around me
    Take my heart
    Love is blindness

    In a parked car
    In a crowded street
    You see your love
    Made complete
    Thread is ripping
    The knot is slipping
    Love is blindness

    Love is clockworks
    And cold steel
    Fingers to numb to feel
    Squeeze the handle
    Blow out the candle
    Love is blindness

    Love is blindness
    I dont want to see
    Wont you wrap the night
    Around me
    Oh my love
    Blindness

    A little death
    Without mourning
    No call
    And no warning
    Baby...a dangerous idea
    That almost makes sense

    Love is drowning
    In a deep well
    All the secrets
    And no one to tell
    Take the money
    Honey
    Blindness

    Love is blindness
    I dont want to see
    Wont you wrap the night
    Around me
    Oh my love
    Blindness.

    hmmm....

    A Love Story

    I shall seek and find you.

    I shall take you to bed and control you.

    I will make you ache, shake and sweat until you grunt and groan.

    I will make you beg for mercy.

    I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I leave you.

    And you will be weak for days.

    All my love,













    The Flu :D
