Re: [Stage 4 - Marla]
Romance . . . it's wonderful, but it can be terrible too. When you're in love, everything's brighter- it's like you've never really seen color before, or that the lights have always been just a little too dim. When it hurts . . . aaah, I don't really even know how to describe it when it hurts. When it hurts, it hurts. But I think that pain just means that you've lost something precious; that big, horrible emptiness is just the proof that something beautiful used to be there. So romance . . . I think romance is good. Even if it might end terribly, it's more important to believe in it. I think that's how all love should be, too.
