I once heard a preacher say,
“there’s no romantic love in
the afterlife.”
maybe I’m a foolish, old
repressed romantic, but
that bothered me
more so, because the
preacher may have been right
more so, because maybe
romantic love is just for
procreation in this life
and unnecessary in the
afterlife
and because my ideal
version of an afterlife would
be a paradise where
soulmates would meet or
meet again and live
happily ever after in
love, imbued with
heavenly bliss,
incomparable and
unimaginable.
Bob Boyd
