Thursday Drabble: Love

There is familial love and romantic love. The former is real, made from blood ties. The latter is a troubadour’s concoction and is what lust, infatuation, and even loyalty are often mistaken for. Actual confessions of love are nothing more than blackmail, often the emotional kind because no one says those three false words without wanting something in return, be it money, gifts, or favours.

So many have tried to persuade me that I would fall in love if I ‘met the right person’. But could you honestly say that you’d want me to love you, or anyone else? Really?
