LOVE

So the girl next to me had obviously resently been through a rough breakup. He face was splotchy and red. The girl next to her, after hearing to details piped up and said, "There are plenty of fish in the sea!"

This didn't help. The girl sniffed and sat up, wiping away another tear. She turned on her phone and began to go through her pictures. She found one she previously saved and read it aloud. "There's plenty of fish in the sea... ? Yeah?

True Love, aka Agape ("selfless love", greek) - A verb more than a noun. An action/commitment, not a feeling.

It can be between friends and family...
