I said it a while back, didn't I? The real excitement of love lies in chasing someone, not actually being with someone. The satisfaction then is quite different altogether, and perhaps not all for the better. We keep getting images of boy liking girl, boy going after girl, boy getting girl... why is it we never see the day-to-day affairs of boy arguing with girl? Because it's friggin' boring. That's right, attached love is boring.
Having a crush or falling in love can be so intense, it's almost like a drug. Ever wonder why that buaya/buayee always goes around chasing all available souls? It's nothing more than the proverbial addict craving the next fix. Crude, yes, but effectively so.
Never expected my theory to see the light of day. At worst, it would just me & my demented mutterings, but things unfold all around me and some of them are shaping themselves to suit that macabre saying. Not much of a fortune-teller - never was - but damn ironic that I should be right on a matter such as this. Guys and girls always gush about their crushes, their flames, whatever - never seen anything remotely approaching the situation where a person gushes about his/her stead. Instead, it's like ,'oh yea, we're attached' with perhaps a smile or two. Excitement? What excitement?
How long before people start seeing courtship as a means to an end, and not an end in itself?
I dunno, and I'm not sure I would behave any differently. Pride before the hypocritical fall - oh so cliched. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about it for the time being, 'cause I ain't got no gal to speak of.
Sometimes, being single has its benefits. Life's simpler, to speak of, and I don't have to worry about her or my wallet or whatever. Eventually, though, everybody tires of the Simple Life.
Doesn't everybody?
Meanwhile, Song 'O The Moment:
You and I got something But it's all and then it's nothing to me, yeah And I got my defenses When it comes to your intentions for me, yeah And we wake up in the breakdown Of the things we never thought we could be, yeah I'm not the one who broke you I'm not the one you should fear We got to move you darling I thought I lost you somewhere But you were never really ever there, at all
And I, want to get free, talk to me I can feel you fallin' And I, wanted to be, all you need Somehow here is gone
I have no solution To the sound of this pollution in me, yeah And I was not the answer So forget you ever thought it was me, yeah I'm not the one who broke you I'm not the one you should fear What do you got to move you darling I thought I lost you somewhere But you were never really ever there, at all
And I, want to get free, talk to me I can feel you fallin' And I, wanted to be, all you need Somehow here is gone
