Lust wrenches our lives until nothing matters except the one we think we love, and under that deceptive spell we kill for them, give all for them, and then, when we have what we have wanted, we discover that it is all an illusion and nothing is there.

Love is a voyage too, a voyage with no destination except death, but a voyage of bliss.
