What's Love All About?
I'm gonna go ahead and ask it:
What is love all about?
Is it Mickey selling his harmonica to earn enough money to buy Minnie a gold chain for her watch; and Minnie selling her watch so she can afford to buy Mickey a case for his harmonica?* Is it doing, being, saying
Always what is best for the one you love?
Are there ever any boundaries?
Are you a better person if you embrace suicide?
I'm holding onto life...
How do I make the ultimate sacrifice?
Can I?
Will I?
I think I'd rather die.
*Referencing "Mickey and Minnie's The Gift of the Magic" based on the story "The Gift of the Magic" by O. Henry

why?
suicide is only valid to they whose 'natural longevity' has been used up, & whose past far out-lengths any potential 'future'...
Ha....well, nevermind
Love? damned if i know. Probably only works if you completely let go of everything you expect 'it' to be.

Suicide referring to "death of self" in relationships. Letting go of expectations is so much easier said than done, don't you think? I think that's the right track, though;)

Oh! so much easier said than done. Tha's why no significant amount of people ever even think of "it"......we hoard expectations so we can rage & whine (&ultimately go to War) when "life", & other folk don'give ME what I Want. Preferably wit No Inconvenience attached.
I very much enjoyed the unselfish love in the touching Mickey and Minnie story, but felt it robbed them from their most precious belongings, I therefore decided to complete your little impromptu, throwing in some of my own, hope you like the result: http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/248944-robbing-peter-to-repay-paul/
