Affection...
From an adolescent he was shown that the only way one knows what is felt has to be expressed... From random pointless hugs, to playful push away cheek kisses... Groomed now into an age of slight immaturity and knowlegeability he still feels that expressing his feelings and showing his affection is a "must".... But he quickly Learns that not everyone knows the awesomeness that is affection nor what it is like to hear, feel, and touch LOVE at the same time... The oxymoronic chills that you get from the warmth of it, trumps anything ever felt before and the more chances you get to experience it the better it gets... It has an adaptiveness that analogizes with mankind itself and is an amazing wonder to witness in it's true form... Heartbreak ensues and he is awe struck that all attempts to show how he felt were if not completely ignored, strongly dis appreciated.... Time passes he maturates and wants to be cold but his ways are embedded and can't be wavered by even the worse of heart violations.. He becomes patient and learns that it will come in due time(real love) and it has it's faults which is why it is a human trait... Acceptance and understanding underline what he makes of anything he encounters and now he is a man... Do you believe in growth? Do you think he has mastered maintaining his "core"? Does affection mean anything? Is it everything?

Affection as an expression means more than most people would like to admit. But the real question is do you believe in eternal love? The universal, complete, perfect love that knows no bounds...? God's love. Agape love. The connection begins there, and spreads out touching everything in it's path. In my opinion letting go of the cold is just a matter of shedding our armor. Accepting that with any love there will be pain. Growing pains. Growing together pains. Becoming one mind and one body pains. It takes genuine commitment from both parties involved. Just like ripping two people apart, coming together in love can sometimes be just as painful. Stick with it. Go through it, and eventually we see that it's worth it. Only then can we embrace the true essence of affection and reciprocate the feelings and the actions that go along with it.
