Love: Waiting for it to be perfect.
I'm unsure.
But keen on my senses.
I'm attracted to the assurance of love from you
but do I really love you for you?
You may love me back for the experience
but it won't last, I anticipate, if you didn't love me for me.
For this reason, should we not try?
We think it's a waste of time since it's triggered by shallow reasons.
But really, doesn't love always start with those things?
"I love her because she makes me smile."
Love can be explained. It is always explained.
Til it grows to an attachment of some sort that BECOMES an end in itself, then it would just be redundant to explain.
but still, can be explained. "I love you because I have formed an attachment to you and your happiness/presence fills my need of being attached to you."
I've always been putting these off and belittling these kinds of love affairs.
When really, these shallow reasons might be the beginning of everything beautiful.
Francis told me people are naturally drawn to attractive people.
The friendly faces you see are rarely ugly.
A reason to make friends -- you may admire someone's beauty longer by keeping contact.
It starts there.
It's understandable.
But really, this is my question now.
If it's all by mere coincidence, or two people complementing each other by feeding each other's needs at some point, HOW THEN DO YOU CHOOSE WISELY SOMEONE TO LOVE?
Remember? You can't just jump in all the time. The cause and effect for love becomes more evident when you do and undo things more often.
And people don't like that. Love is the closest tangible thing we can associate to magic. And we mortals need magic as it is a reason to hope. Hope keeps us moving.
It all starts with reason. Each of us will grow in time.
The need will be fulfilled, the yearning will fade.
If, and only if we're lucky, our love by that time has blossomed into something else. Probably other needs that are met by both ends to prolong the romance. Or a genuine attachment - when values and more are found to be shared.
but could you know before trying?
or should we not condemn debauchery, claiming they just met more coincidences and merely tried?
It has become so logical, I laugh at myself.
Am I really waiting for something more, or have I bailed out on all the possibilities?
I'm a skeptic, yet an idealist. also an extreme optimist.
Still waiting for love to be perfect, when it does come.
Continuously testing it for truth,
my deepest nerve remains untouched.
So, should we or should we try?
