Is love real?

[arewethereyet]

I still have deep feelings for my older daughter's father. Crazy, I know it. He left when I was just a few months pregnant and we only were in contact a few times over the years, mostly via phone and now he's dead. I should probably hate him. But I don't and no one has even come close to making me feel the way I did when we were together. Now, I am the first to admit that may be my fault. I don't think I ever let anyone else that close.

There were others I care(d) about but nothing at that level.

That's as romantic as it gets from me.

Love for my kids is a different thing altogether.
