Let's see...

I (in the past) opined the fact that "the event of being a lover exists
under conditions: fairy story - exclusively"

Yes, fair enough. Regarding "selcrida" - that'll teach me to trust the
lujvo list on wordlists.xls. I'd also had *huge* trouble finding a word
for "exclusively" - po'o fits nicely.
 
> Actually, s/jinvi/krici/

Probably makes better sense, but I was trying to avoid "believe" until I
hit the chorus: baku mi viska lo flira po le ninmu .iseri'a mi ca krici

Now, how would you express "[love is/was] *meant* for someone else"? I
can't seem to find a gismu for "be set aside for (a person)"

mu'omi'e kris.
