Modern romance burdened with the weight of unrequited love which only weighs heavy on the shoulders of future relationships. I have often found myself strugling against the idealized version of someone else in contention for the heart of the person I am seeing. Too often have we as humans fooled ourselfves into believing that there is hope in the ghost image of an idealized past happiness. Hope would be seen as it shines from a future horizon but to look for it blindly wihout a source is nothing short of stupid. Ah days of lore.
