Forever And A Day

One: The Present

They say true love lasts forever .

They also says every crooked pot has a lid .

They believe that love stories are written in the stars .

Strange how love can be so blind ,but your neighbors are not.

Another negative : How can people believe in the theory that there are many fishes in the sea?.

It is safe to say that whoever came up with all those ideas might've had one too many screws lose in their brains. Or maybe they've been smoking something that made the little green men come out to play . Or if we want to take it further , they'd probably looked too deep into the bottle.

What is love truly?.

Adults becomes hormonal teenagers with just one song playing as they grind it out  on the dancefloor .

When you set eyes on someone for the very first time , it's as if there's a sudden change of priorities ,as all that you are or were fades into the background .The universe seems to align and set only that one special person alight as if they are standing under a giant bright spotlight just for you . Nothing else matters to you anymore and for days you become a foolish blubbering idiot and a lovesick puppy dog .

That is called love at first sight .

To become technical ,there is such a thing as love at first touch as well.

A single spark jolts through your every being and you just know that this person is yours.

Once again you become  a disgusting idiotic fruitcake without the nice icing and cherries on top .

Now we come to the soulmate thing.

Every person out there in this big  world of ours  has a soulmate. Someone who leaves one breathless and anxious once they aren't around . Or when you just click with someone rather well over some interests and you can do nothing but want to be with them forever until your  dying breath .

It's usually the male that recognises the soulmate bond first . When he sees the female for the first time he might go " Oh, I'm going to marry that woman one day ". Well, I digress . In most cases he does end up marrying her.

So , tell me ,what is love truly?.

Is it a bug that goes around ,only infecting the heart ? .

Or is it something that someone made up to amuse them endlessly ?. To see others suffer every single moment of every single day ?.

I never  really truly believed in such trivial things . Love ,to me ,was something made believe. Something that only belonged in story books, music and movies.

To entrust someone with your most precious asset , meaning your heart , only to have it stomped on and crushed into a million little dust particles.

Looking back at all the times I was willing to give it a go and become a slightly reluctant believer just to have my heart broken over and over again by the only man I ever wanted and known since I could remember , meaning when I was in diapers.

I feel like a fool for even believing that he was my one and only . My forever . The one I wanted to grow old with. The one I would take the plunge and walk through fire for . The one I would sacrifice my dreams for ...

Yeah, I'm being a hypocrite ,am I not ?.

Here I am badmouthing love as if it's a bloody virus under a microscope or icky stinky gooey dog poo under my shoe.  

Yet ,here I am being that silly idiotic  fool again.  Taking the plunge and all that in the name of that big fat four letter word that makes even the coldest, hardest human being a slave . The L word . The word that's used so casually .
