I think people have this whole concept of "love" and "relationship" pretty messed up.. I venture the risk of making this dangerous statement for the simple reason that when I ask someone why he/she is in a relationship, I don't seem to be getting any convincing reasons.. And then there are people who want to be in a relationship for the funny(tragic???) reason of "I want someone in my life"... HHEELOOOO!!!! Are you living in an island? Mars? Dont you have people around you? Friends, colleagues, family, etc.. Are they not people? What a reason!! I want someone in my life cause I'm lonely..
Should it not be I want someone in my life because I have so much love to give.. I want to meet someone who just completes me and who makes that love worth sharing, makes my life worth sharing?? I think one should fall in love for the reason of love itself.. Love me for a reason.. and let the reason be love.. Now thats what I call true love..
And then there are takes on how that love should be.. Ohmygod!! they are so cute together.. He calls her up every hour to tell her what he ate,drank, whom he talked to.. EXCUSE ME!!!! Is that radio collar a valentine's gift?? Met a PYT the other day who said - "My BF (can't even say boyfriend!!) loves me ssssooooo much.. If I don't call him up the moment I wake up, he gets very upset!!".. Aww!! How sweet.. Isn't it just lovely that her BEE-EFF is an insecure psycho straight out of Sleeping with the Enemy?!
I may be sounding cynical or perhaps you're thinking "oh-what-does-he-know".. Ya.. What do I know?? I must confess that I've had my share of failed relationships.. So probably I do do not know jackshit about love or how a relationship should work... Or maybe the relationships failed because I do know.. Yes.. Thats it.. I do know.. That when I love.. It shall be forever.. It shall be with passion.. Intense and strong.. With all my heart.. With my soul.. A pure,almost spiritual, radio-collar less love.. When.. I do not know.. How.. I do know.. With whom.. I do not know.. Why... I do know..
Every worldy ambition accepts defeat.
I want to be: her wounded soul, her uncried tears,
her broken heart, her nameless fears
her stifled breath, her wasted years.
I want to absorb, I want to drain
From her life, her every pain.
That every night she quietly cried,
that every moment she couldn't decide,
that every time she could not hide,
that every prayer that death defied.
That every blow she had to take,
that every promise she could not make,
that every silence for love's sake,
that every moment when dreams break.
Where reason ends, life begins,
She is - the wind beneath my wings,
She is the voice I touch and see,
My unfounded dream, my reality.
She is the flower never out of bloom
The ray of light in this darkened doom.
And this world is but the ground beneath her feet.

It couldn't have been better. As usual the words are amazing and touching!!
When you read a poem and while reading it you feel like your heart will explode and tears will pour down your face, while you're smiling- its a fantastic feeling captured in a fantastic poem.
Theres a small group of people for whom I often think/ feel : It would be so nice if everyone thought/ felt this way.
Welcome to that group hermano.
Sweetheart,
Love is overrated!And i believe there is no such thing as anyone or anything completing you.We should complete ourselves,damnit!Dependancy to such an extent can be extremely vulnerable
Me thinks the root of the problem is that most/some of us are really in love with the concept of love.. and all the gooey,mushy stuff that comes with it.what say eh?
Look who's talkin? huh
