Stronger Than Us
Many people's views on love are different. Some people use love as if it is a commonly used verb. If I were to walk around the mall I would hear, "OMG! I love your new bracelet." I will admit I am no saint when it comes to this action, but it is true. Now, in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he portrays love to be an instant thing. Well, he is wrong. I feel the words "I love you" are something you must reach in a relationship. I tell my friends "I love you" all the time, even my parents. Couples who say "I love you" on the first day they meet do not mean it when they say it. I do not believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in lust. William Shakespeare may not know how to express love, and neither do I. That's ok though, because love is a strong feeling. It is so strong that it may even be stronger then us.
