*sigh*...LOVE....it is one of those feelings that people have twisted and turned into this-fictitious, provocative, astonishing, majestic, careless, breathtaking(to name a few)-sort of 'phenomenom'. Sure, it sounds romantic and even 'promising'; but, truth be told, thats all a metaphor, an infamous cliche invented by some 'self-proclaimed poem' in a desperate attempt to show off and gain notoriety.
Unfortunately, people have embraced this idea of "love" which its not realistic at all. And,no, I am not going to preach about the 'biblical meaning' of Love(even though that's the true meaning...). I am going to give you my point of view about this "oh, so exploited" topic.......
.........To me, its a lil' of what I mentioned before(just a lil').....cuz in reality its a much deeper feeling.....in terms of commitment, cuz its not a-'til death do us part-kind of feeling, its Eternal. Maybe its breathtaking, but that-"I cant live without you!"-that its Borderline Psychotic!!!!. It could be felt as astonishing and careless but in reality its anything but: it has its 'bad days' and if you really feel love for someone all that you do is take CARE of that person, so,"careless?"...I dont think so. And yes, it sure its provocative at times, lets be honest, we're all human...but if what you feel is true love, then that strong feeling goes way beyond physical contact; if you really love someone, so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with him(or her), trust me, its worth the wait, so, its not even that 'passionate' after all.
The thinng is that-"all you need is love"(with the popular definition of the term) has turned into a modern-day classic. And, really?. Trying to explain the REAL meaning of that word.....*sigh*... FEELS LIKE IM REINVENTING THE WHEEL HERE!........
......Sure its romantic, and frenetic, and yes, makes you want to live like theres no tomorrow and take the most dangerous risks for that 'special someone', but underneath all of that flaming, exhilarating-even tempting-emotions, theres another part of love that its soooo overlooked by people most of the times. Its an equal amount of: responsability, loyalty, honesty, purity, respect, struggle, security, kindness, optimism, fearlessness, innocense(yet maturity). And I know what you're probably thinking..."Boring!"....but, thats the 'real deal'. If you just think that love its like a-"Live fast, die young"-sort of feeling-its not Love...that its LUST!....Which not only its not a feeling-its one of the 7 deadly sins,"hello!"-(so...no thnx!).....
But, its not boring at all, trust me, it has its adventurous, 'passive-aggressive' moments, it is enthusiastic, and one thing its for sure, it is UNAVOIDABLE(.....yeap...just like death...).
Trust is, sometimes people are just "in love with the idea of being in love", and they forget that it goes beyond that-"Oh, how romantic!"-portray. It is more than a feeling; its a bond, a commitment, a pact; it is knowing that you will have that "special someone" there no matter what, even when things turn sour and everything seeme to come crashing down, even when your daily schedules seem to be rivals cuz you barely have time to be together, even when both of you start having growing careers and your lives start to turn into a ROUTINE(...I know, that DOES sounds boring)-but my point is.......regardless all of the above 'blablabla'; knowing that your 'Romeo'(or 'Juliet') its there for you through EVERYTHING....now thats LOVE!.
Ok, I know its a lil' cliche...but its true!. It has both sides: the positive and negative-just like everything else in life.
................So, I guess I have achieved my goal....maybe I didnt "reinvent the wheel", but I gave you the inside story about this '4-letter-dilemma'.........
