Sadness is a reliable friend.  Like the dealer that gets you addicted so you won't leave.  Sweet, reliable, addicting... This is not what we look for in life, but love.  So easily manipulated, faked, unstable, but brings you the real high, happiness.   Some people chase after it. Many are disappointed. Some give up, but we have to remind ourselves that love requires commitment. Don't give up on the ones you love.
