Today I found myself listening to the song on my profile "A Thing Called Love" by The Darkness, and in this song the lead singer says, "I believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart." I also talked to one of my close friends who I always though was probably one of the luckiest girls I knew, who is in a fairytale relationship with a guy who could probably give Patrick Dempsey a good run for his money as a McDreamy type of guy. EXCEPT this is real life where romance is rare. And the real McDreamies aren't quite as dreamy. The don't chase you into the pouring rain to kiss just because they want to kiss you that badly. Our relationships are so far from perfect. WE all try to seem happy and wonderful all of the time, I know this from personal experience. I myself having been in several, & I mean several, failed relationships why do they all fail? IS it really so much that us girls are asking for? Some guys shower you with gifts, or think spending time with you in the same room accounts for a date. I always dreamt about falling in love as little girl, and like that silly song on my profile I always hoped that it would be in that head over heels unable to explain how you feel type of way and that I would make someone feel that insane crazy mess of emotions but maybe that’s not a realistic dream. Its not about gifts or fancy restaurants when it comes down to it I think all girls really want is to be chased out into the rain kissed, or to get out of the shower and to see someone wrote “I love you†in the foggy mirror. It’s the little things that really make the relationship worth while. We're not asking for ALL of your time, or ALL of your money. I think all we really want is to know we still make you feel that crazy mess of emotions that you make us feel. I still want to believe in romance like you see on T.V. or in Disney movies. I know in real life mice don't sing & we don't have fairy godmothers to make us beautiful, but that doesn't mean that we don't wish that someone would tell us we look beautiful. I hope that some couples somewhere have that special romance, and I hope for girls everywhere that wish for it, that some guys may get inspired and pay attention to the amazing woman they have in front of them, and decide to SHOW them how they feel. I just want to believe in love, the kind my grandparents shared, until one died. Two people that would have gone to the moon and back for each other. Always kissed when they thought no one was looking, held hands at dinner, and danced staring into each others eyes at 50th wedding anniversary, the same way they did 50 years before. I may have not been there to see that but one can just tell. I hope romance like this still exists, and hope that every girl still dares to find it rather than to settle for someone who doesn't want to listen to the rhythm of their heart. So I guess this whole blog was in some way inspired by that silly song, but as silly as it sounds I hold it close to my heart.
