(An 18 year old called a radio station requesting to dedicate a song to someone with whom he was "very in love." The DJ asked if this was his "First True Love." )
What is that? It doesn't seem quite an oxymoron, but either why the statement seems nonsensical. You'd assume you only have one "true" love, but maybe this is me keeping the romanticist idea that we all have a "soul mate," as some people would call it.
Maybe it just depends on what word you emphasize or what the definition of true is. If you take "true" love as meaning the ultimate love of your life, then you should only have one. If you take "true love" meaning, a pure, honest love, well... then I guess you can have as many as your heart can handle.
With that said, maybe that's how so many people fall in love and get married (discounting the high divorce rates out there.)
It has been said that love isn't something you feel, but it is something that comes from two people looking in the same direction. Can we all fall truly in love with anyone so long as we are headed in the same direction or is that just extended companionship? Some married people do say that after a while the burning love you have for each other turns into the deepest respect and friendship. Maybe we all have love staring us in the face but we chose to ignore it because we are waiting to be swept off our feet, whatever that means.
