Civil Romance.
Is there even such a thing?
The reason we are so drawn to romance novels or movies is the emotion it evokes in us. As humans, we often want what we don't have. We enjoy the cliche romance because we yearn to prove the relationship we are in, we enjoy them to dream about the possible, we enjoy them to drive the heartache of being alone, we enjoy them with our anger, we enjoy mocking them, to cry over them, to pray for them; we just enjoy them.
They are called a cliche for a reason, even someone like myself understand how ridiculous a romance is. Two characters meet, fall in love over the odds against them, break up, and end up together. Although, there are also the tragic romances, where one of the characters is dying and the other has to live with the fear of losing them, and grieving when they are lost.
Yet,
A romance is never clean. They shouldn't be. A true romance is wild, it is unplanned, and is something that can't be controlled. So when we watch or read about romance and scoff at how alike they are, remember the fact that there is two people involved with different emotions, and often we forget how the little things can change the relationship. One grows apart, or someone just changes. A perfectly normal human change. All of these things have a toll on a relationship, and all must never be forgotten.
Even in a story like mine, a ordinary romance, can be changed by the little things in life.
Can there ever really be a civil romance?
Can you ever really have peace in love?
"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead.
I sighed dreamily. I can't wait till I find my mate. He'll be perfect and handsome and funny and smart and brave and beautiful and he'll love me... only ever me... and... and...
Present
This hurts so much. Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else.
I'd hate him if I could.
I'd reject him if I could... I wish I could.
