Here I tread on unfamiliar ground, but let me muse for awhile.
I believe love is stronger than desire. Yet it's easier to cave in to desire.
Love protects and gives, while undiluted desire consumes and steals.
love can last eternity, while desire will burnt out.
I believe that love without passion starves the heart, and passion without love.... destroys..
'almost' every woman wants to be irresistibly desired (if not... well at least I am). wants to feel that I'm captivating and maddening.
But behind all that, I also wants to feel safe and sheltered. I want--no, scratch that.. NEED to know that no matter how passionately you desired me, I am loved more. (oh and this goes both ways)
One thing I know, a relationship based on desire sure is fun. the fire burning passionately, it's.... addicting. But the drop.. it's unbearably fast. (yep. personal experience)
Now I'm a little bit wiser, I think it's safest to observe first. rather than jumping in a relationship face on.
Great things will come with perseverance and patience.
Aww look aren't I very vanilla today?
