Love vs. Lust

like good vs. evil, love vs. lust has been around since the beginning. some people actually believe in love at first sight, but is it even real?or is that really just lust? you want that person not because of who they are but what they are; a person with looks that turn you on in some sort of way. because love, when it's really done right has so many fucking layers. like no matter what that person does you still love them. you still want to be around them even if they're bitchy or fat or didn't feel like putting on makeup or brushing their hair. you love them when they disagree with you. you love them when they do those annoying things like self-deprecate or pick their teeth or are dressed like a bum because they don't care what they look like. it's this unconditional love that stems from really getting to know someone. yes, there is some magical element to really getting to know someone especially with everyone bullshitting and being who they want to be instead of who they are, but i still have some modicum of belief in love. I acknowledge the difficulty in it, so i don't go hunting for it. now lust...

lust is pretty much this rush of something warm and urgent and there is a comfort in that. like if i take these shots i will feel this rush, this tingling sensation that will be gone when i say it's gone. it's what lust is all about and when it's returned by the object of said lust it's like this insane magnetism so much like love, but so much lighter due to its lack of substance and sustainability. you can actually feel this sort of synthetic love and it's not so bad. the important thing is to remember it's faux.

sometimes the round just goes to Lust.
