LOVE … the most complicated, cruel, dreadful four-syllable word you will ever come across, It’s confusing, and honestly I don’t know what about it so appealing that you want to fall right into it’s trap, smiling and welcoming more of the romantic crap it feeds you!
Maybe cause you are so empty, your inside is falling apart and you need something to fill in the gaps, you need someone to be there, to hold your hand, to fill your thoughts, your life.
Cause you still believe in the fairy tales with prince charming and the white horses, cause you believe in the true love kiss, dances in the magic ball room and fighting a dragon to get to you.
Cause you just won’t accept that maybe there’s no soul-mates out there, that love is a myth invented by the hopeful romantic people the same ones who put a prince on a white horse and a princess on an endless sleep waiting for his kiss to wake her!
Maybe you are scared to end up alone or worse, in a loveless marriage cause you had to. Cause you have reached an age when the society around you practically push you into accepting the first man who sees you as a potential wife.
And because of these reasons and more, you welcome love to your life, knowing in advance that it won’t exactly be a picnic in the garden, well, it maybe that, but reality-garden is full of thorns that only the lucky ones will pass without some hideous scares that will remain carved in them.
Because of love you change your identity, you become a stranger you don’t recognize, you do the same mistakes over and over again, you get into deep depressions and no one can help you but the one who got you there in the first place. Because of love he is your only cure, he is the man of life, he is the one you will fight the whole world for even if he doesn’t care enough to do the same, he is the one you dream your kids will look like, his words is like balsam to your wounds, he will make you cry and forget to dry those tears, he will never say he’s sorry and you’ll forgive him in a second if he just call your name, he is your prince charming even if he is the exact opposite.
And that’s the ugly side, but what about the beautiful side! When you get to marry your high school sweet-heart, when you meet the one who will sweep you of your feet, when love won’t be destructive and help you be a better person, when love won’t be blind and will see beyond, when he’ll look into your eyes everyday and tell you: you are the best thing that ever happens to me, when he’ll say I love you with each and every little thing he does for the rest of your lives ……….
For those who only experienced the ugly side, I hope love will come around … I hope HE will come around … I hope against hope!
