With love, it’s good to know what you have. Or is it “share?”

Many long for the kind fueling Nicholas Sparks stories - a pure version couples dream about, aspire toward, but never reach. Yet, love must exist when eyes are open as much as when they’re shut. U2’s Bono says, “Romantic love … wears itself out unless it moves toward the real and away from the fantasy.”

How does one know real love? Just look.

When your eyes meet his/hers across a room and a conversation happens, without a word spoken. When one can look into the other’s eyes and somehow understand the depths of joy or frustration, when to press in or give space, and if celebration is needed – or wounds need tending. The love of your life can change your mood with but a glance. Subconsciously, one craves that glance.

Because then comes a hand reaching for yours. Confirming “together” and affirming the journey continues.

Talking about his wife, Bono alluded to ancient wisdom: “Rather than falling in love, we were climbing up toward it. We still are.”
