I agree that chocolate is chocolate.. But my question was dark or white? Because love is like chocolate in its metaphoric meaning... White is smooth and sweet, while dark its a mix of sweet with sour taste that alert all your feeling :)

"Love is a sweet tyranny, because the lover endureth his torments willingly."
almost true!!

"You will be with her for all eternity,
So hold her in your memory

"Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end."
what is love? when it happens and how we know that we have that ''disease'':)?

Love is not the answer, is the question :)

"Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate!" :)
lol! maybe “There is no sincerer love than the love of food.''
Dark or white Chocolate?:)
You don't understand:
""Other things are JUST food. But chocolate’s chocolate." ;)
cool....I never met a chocolate I didn't love! ;)
Have had passionate love affair with chocolate for years: "I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter."
I agree that chocolate is chocolate..
But my question was dark or white? Because love is like chocolate in its metaphoric meaning...
White is smooth and sweet, while dark its a mix of sweet with sour taste that alert all your feeling :)
it was a re: to “There is no sincerer love than the love of food.''
White chocolate is not actually chocolate, so that would mean that there is no such thing as smooth and sweet love.
dip dark choc in white and you can get the taste of both;) just be innovative..
"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."
"It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man." ;)

Interesting though, it is like it never happened, as if only in a parallel universe or in our dreams.

Uhm, my re: isn't among the recovered posts as they seem to be from "find". And the search continues...
