Connected

Inseparable,
I’d miss you,
Even if we didn’t meet.
And even though you’re near,
I want you here…
Like a taste of something sweet.

I have fallen…
Can no longer stand,
My own feet decieve me.
And if I could,
One knee would be good,
To ask you to marry me.

Crazy thoughts,
My actions; concerning,
Am I moving to fast.
But I’m for certain,
The love I have for you,
Over time, it won’t pass.

Forever…
The can seem like a long time,
But forever with you,
Well… Miss… That sounds mighty fine

All You Need is Love?

I hear this a lot… “All you need is love!”

Is love really THAT powerful that you can get through anything if all you had was it?

I question this a lot.  Mainly… because either I have never been truly in love before, or because the other person in the relationship wasn’t really in love; regardless, this has never ever been what was all I needed.  To me… love comes and goes.  I grew up believing that blood (family/friends) is thicker than water (relationships).  That there are lots of fish in the sea… so don’t dwell on just one fish.  Same meaning: Dont hold your breath on one aspect of your life… you may never breathe again.

Life is about living… and to me… love sometimes holds you down from living, if that love isn’t genuine.  Now… don’t get me wrong.  I believe in the theory of love.  I believe in what it stands for.  But… it seems to never be enough to hold me through the bullshit that relationships (i’m in) go through.  And… Yes… there is always bullshit…

I look at my past… and smile about all the beautiful ladies that have been in my life.  All the wonderful relationships that were started… and then at all the misery that one went through to get past that relationship… thats right, I said smile.  Why?  Why not?  Every event in my life is an opportunity to learn from it and make it better the next time.  So rather I win or lose… it all evens up with me.

The truth? The truth will bite you in the ass when you are looking dead at the picture.  The truth doesn’t need to hide… The truth is black and white.  And the truth will ALWAYS come out.  So if you or her/him doesn’t really love the other… that will become noticed sooner than later… at least… we hope sooner than later.

As I continue life and swim through this ocean… I will continue to take breaths, because the reality is, as much as each of us wants to be loved… someone of us will drown waiting around to long for it…

To Love Or Not To Love Again…

20120425-190248.jpg

My thoughts on this are deep… One part of me wants to find someone to love. Someone that I truly care for. Someone that I can grow old with. Someone that I can share my deepest thoughts and secrets with. Someone that I can have a family with. But then… the other part of me wants just relationships. No marriage. Just an accessional girlfriend from time to time, or someone I can just go on dates with whenever.

Why this split thought on Love…

I’ve been married. Felt the heartache. Seen what it can do to two people. And it makes me not want to go through that again… However, if the right person came along, I would give marriage another go.

Do I want a family…

Yes. No question about that. I love children. I would love to be able to teach them things to grow up to be amazing people. I would love to take family vacations, instead of just going with “the men”. Something about family trips are just exciting. I have some of the best childhood memories while on vacations.

Will I ever find another woman that I would consider marriage with?

I am sure I will. As one grows older… you start to want that companionship. The urge to want to be with someone. To grow old with someone. I’ve been living alone for almost a year now… and its already getting boring. lol

So… bottom of the line is… now that I have been down that road of marriage, when it comes to the second go-around, I will be picky. I have, if you will, studied this area, and have an understanding on what to look for. If I am blessed to have a woman walk into my life that “takes my heart”, and wants a family, and wants to do things together, and enjoys my company as much as I’ll enjoy her company, then I will be the happiest man on the planet.

But as a good friend says… “good luck with that” lol
