. . .

Sometimes I wish we didn't disagree on love.

Where you think love is selfless, I know it to be entirely selfish. And every evolutionary theory of human nature agrees with me. Without that selfishness our species couldn't have perpetuated.
Because we love the things that we like, we love the things that we want. Selfless acts are committed as a consequence of love, yet its not the same thing.
You have so often asked why I love you, as if knowing my reasons will change something. (And those reasons would be the same whether or not you know.) I have avoided giving concrete answers for fear of retaliation from you, because you would misunderstand.
