Is Love Lost?
One of the newest secrets on PostSecret
... simple, but so true.
I've been talking to a lot of my friends about relationships and how they come about and the kind of relationship that we want. We've come to the agreement that none of us want to rush into a relationship. But that seems so hard these days. Not to rush. Especially life in college or life after college. Think about it. When you're in college all of the people that you meet are from where? Your college. Which mean that they all probably live within a 5 mile radius of you. Making it extremely easy to rush into something. Sadly, its usually the physical aspect of a relationship that you rush into, instead of the emotional side. And of course that makes sense. Because you honestly cannot rush into the emotional part. Trusting someone with your heart, with all that you are is much harder than trusting someone in your bed. (Not that my friends and I are gong around and sleeping with every person that we meet. Thats not the case at all)
I was talking to a friend from college a week or two ago and he was telling me about the relationship that he was in with a girl that lived in his apartment complex. I don't know all of the details of their relationship, but the girl had recently told him something along the lines of "i feel like we've rushed into this and don't know if i could ever fall in love with you". We all live for that feeling, excitement of falling into love. Its more than just a feeling, its an experience. It's suppose to be about those late night talks where you become more honest with yourself because you're being so selflessly honest with someone else. Its suppose to be about the first time that other person finishes your sentence, the way that you instantly smile when they reach for your hand, and sharing who you used to be with the person that you want to be with.
As I'm typing this, the lyrics from the song "Tiger Lilly" by Matchbook Romance is playing on my iTunes shuffle:
why does tonight, have to end?
why don't we hit restart,
and pause it at our favorite parts.
... those are the nights that I want more of. The ones where I get back to my apartment and replay the entire night in my head, trying to sort out which memory could have possibly been the best.
So why do we rush things? Well, for some of us, it might be because those relationships that we didn't rush still got us burnt. The ones that we experienced falling in love with are the ones that hurt us a hell of a lot more than the ones that didn't call us after a friday night make out session. And as much as we want to get back to that place, where we can experience love again, first we must get past the bitter taste of losing that last love. But until then, is love lost?
