All you need is love?

"Above all things I believe in love." Ewan McGregor claims in the 2001 hit movie Moulin Rouge, "Love is like oxygen- love is a many splendored thing- love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!"

So that got me thinking! All you need is love?
Let's consider that for a second...

Let's say your boyfriend tells you he isn't hungry, or feeling any of the other vital urges to feed or hydrate himself: 'It must have something to do with the fact that I'm in love'.
Isn't that the SWEETEST THING?

But still... is that possible? I must say.. I'm véry much in love (no doubt about that), but when I woke up, first thing on my mind was: "When do we eat?"
Okay.. not the very first thing on my mind, but still.. my vitals were all very stable and healthy let's say.
Still,
isn't it incredibly romantic to believe in love being the only thing keeping you alive? Wouldn't that be the best thing to have ever happened to you?

Personally, I'm a realist when it comes to such things, but still.. when I start to réally think about it..
there are many people who actually don't feel hungry when they're UNhappy.. then.. why couldn't it be possible for people to start feeling the same things when they're actually happy?

Anyhow, I wouldn't recommend anyone to actually TRY to survive on love, because it's not like there's scientific proof of anyone ever having survived on love, but hey.. who am I to criticize the romantic among us? Heck, I'm a romantic myself!

Well, it was just something that came to mind when I was trying to get some sleep last night, but still, for argument's sake: something interesting to reflect upon, right?
