Matt, the sad thing is that you don't seem to have experienced the good part of romance in the real world. I am sorry if that is the case. It is a beautiful thing. Yes, it can also rip out your heart and stomp on it when it goes sour. That is real life. Nobody ever said that life is easy. Nothing worth keeping alive is easy. EVERYTHING worth keeping alive hurts like hell when it is gone - even in cyberspace.
