Four Kinds & Planes of Love · Can It Last As All Changes?
⁘ “What is love? Does it even exist? Falling in love. That chemical drive, attraction and bonding, we fall into. What of soulmates? Is there one pinned for you out there? There's bonding on the plane of our instincts. Then we have emotional coupling. Bonding over parallel frameworks of thought. And of course the synergy from parallel roles in our lives. But how can love last when its foundations are ever changing?”
What is love?
And does it even exist?
We have the crazy little thing called love.
The chemical drive, attraction and bonding,
the type of love that people usually fall into.
And what of soulmates, your cosmic counterparts?
Is there one pinned for you somewhere out there
that you should be looking for?
But is it eternal, can it be forever?
When the fact is that this love
is constructed atop a foundation
of constantly moving and evolving parts?
There's bonding on the plane of our instincts,
lust, propagation of our species.
Then we have emotional coupling,
the exchange agreement for mutual feel-goods.
The more cognitively oriented
like to bond over parallel thought formations,
frameworks of thinking.
And of course, we have the like meets like, matching identities,
where the roles we have assumed are parallel,
and therefore we find synergy and a bond between us.
How can love last, when its components are ever transforming?
