why we love ...

Men love because they are afraid of themselves,
afraid of the loneliness that lives in them,
and need someone in whom they can lose themselves
as smoke loses itself in the sky.
(....a forwarded sms)

But women love because they are afraid of themselves,
afraid of losing themselves to many,
and need someone in whom they can anchor
as a ship anchors in the coast

  1. So man and woman loving each other will be like a ship anchored to the coast with smoke rising to the sky in the background :)

    Is that why marriage is like setting fire to the port?

    wonder why some smoke turn to water and reach for the earth?
    seen some very old people fall in love?

    wonder why some anchored ships rise to skies like kites on young wind?
    seen some very old people fall in love?
