Peter Gabriel - The Book of Love

[@barbaralucore2255]

I love this song. But it always makes .me cry, it's so beautiful. I found my true love when I was 50 in 2000 and now we are growing old together. He is the love of my life. ❤❤❤

[@barrylangweiler9356]

I was 53 and never wanted to be married but we met in 2000 and married in 2003 and for twenty one years we shared a romance and a love that was better than love. I held her as she took her last breath and while time may forget that day my heart will always remember.

I listened to this wonderful song this morning at my bed radio at 05.11. Eighty years ago it was D-Day. So many young people gave their highest sacrifice for our liberation and freedom at the beaches and hills of Normandy. Their book of love was closed far too early. We can't be grateful enough to them.

I am not the crying kind. I have never cried while listening to a song. But listening to this song completely breaks me down, and I start to sob like a child. I suspect the reason I start to cry while listening to this song is because of the lines that speak of hope for love from someone. I am well past 60 and steadily heading towards old age, having never had the privilege of having someone fall in love with me. Love truly is for lucky people. Some of us are just not that lucky.

[@morrigankasa570]

Yep, especially because what is Love without Wisdom or Wisdom without Love. You can Love foolishly and/or too easily which often leads to bad or at least empty relationships. You can be too Wisdom focused which can lead to excessive Logic which then leads to an empty Life. Therefore, you need both together for the best existence. You still need to be open to Love & Companionship yet temper it with Wisdom to prevent Foolish Loves/Relationships. Just like you need the Wisdom to understand that importance.
