Writing romance...reading romance...it's all about love. But what is love? My dictionary gives seven different definitions of the word. Seven! We all know that there's romantic love, and that's what people usually think of when they hear the word. There're also parental, platonic, fraternal, love of country, ideals...probably as many kinds as there are people who indulge in it.
What about that zing that's almost the defining element of new romantic love? Everyone says it fades over time. But does it really? It changes. Is that always bad? Young people seem to think so. Many old people just look smug. Maybe it's all about finding the right person.
What do you think?
