When in love, lovers wear masks. They only show their best selves to their partners. But given enough time, they understand each other and see the faults in the other person. This eventually leads to a breakup, or they come to a deeper understanding of the other person. There are instances in which people who are deeply in love also despise each other vehemently. This is because the mask has come off, and they cannot stand the other person. True love takes time. It is beyond the illusion of beauty. It is beyond chocolates and roses. It is a responsibility.
