Book Of Love, Piece: 09
Love is not a one time transaction. It is an ever-lasting commitment, think of it as though you are signing up for a mobile plan with a telecommunications service provider. The moment you fail to pay your monthly dues, they will perhaps send you a warning letter, and if too many months go by without receiving the due payments, the provider will automatically cut you off.
It is similar with love. You cannot simply expect not to put in effort and still be in love. It just doesn't work that way.
