Love is a Marathon

As Teddy Geiger writes "love is a marathon...slow down and pace yourself 'cause when it's good it's a long open lord". I've been thinking about this idea of love lately. I've been in Love before, and am in love now...but it's hard to define either. Because love is not a definable entity. This was all brought on by reading (again) the wonderful novel, "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. It's about this guy who sees this girl one day and immediately falls in Love. He continues this love for more than 50 years even though in that time, they live very far apart, she gets married, and she even rejects him. He keeps this idea of love in his head, even though he has no idea if it is returned. I'm amazed by that thought. And I'd like to believe that love conquers all, that true love finds a way. But it's hard to know. I know that it's a common feeling though, there a reason that all those women love "The Notebook". My brother and his girlfriend found a way to get back together and make it work. That amazes me, and makes me wonder. Could I, hopeless romantic that I am, stay with the course. Still keep a piece of my heart for someone that is long gone, someone that would move on? Is there anyone out there that could Love me like that? I'd like to think so...but could it just be a notion left to movies and books? For my sake, I'd hope not.
