I find a fatal flaw in the logic of love, The Shins sang in Gone for Good. No truer words have ever been spoken. Love has an expiry date. People love you only for a set amount of time and because love is generally believed to be a decision, people can also choose to stop loving you. I have been told I was loved repeatedly for six years, until one day when I could not give the other person what he desired, he decided to stop loving me. It is an objective and logical choice devoid of any real emotion and feeling. Because love is never an emotion, it is a decision.

That is the danger of love being a choice. Just as much as you can choose to love someone, you can also easily choose not to.
