I think I should explain myself on the "Closet/two days" caption.
I am the first to admit that I like romance. I am a hopeless romantic. However, real life gets in the way of the wonderful idea of romance many times. Childhood romances often sour, marriages dissolve, and what many people think is love often turns out to simply be lust. These are the reasons why love, and true romance, are as precious as they are.
The feelings in the caption are those of lust. Though intense, it is a temporary and fickle emotion. Note also that the girl says "I still like girls." There were no mental changes wrought whatsoever, through the change itself or through conscious decision. Like kids in high school are wont to, hormones and pheremones tug them in the strangest directions.
In short, this caption is not about love, but rather lust and curiosity. Eventually, both parties will find love and be truly happy, it's just that this isn't quite that pivotal moment of their lives. Would I like to see some kind of thing where people get together? Very much so. Is this caption it? Very much no. But don't worry, there will be others that have much more rewarding conclusions to them.
Falafel. (Dang it! I was so close to having a completely serious post!)
