Valerie Lombardo once wrote, “To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.” It’s tragic, wanting someone so bad that it’s impossible to grasp, to keep, to hold. The feeling of desire deep down inside and having to tame it with no saying. I have seen many cases where girls or guys become fond of a particular person but never having the chance to speak to them or even become acquainted. The feeling is painful, wanting and dreaming to be with that person and thinking “Do I have a chance?” or “I wish we can be together and forget about everything else”, questioning ourselves of whether that day will come. The day of first encountered love.
We as humans establish these feelings for people that become meaningful to our lives, because it’s in our nature to be comfortable with who we want to be with. Is dreaming ever truly bad? Is fantasizing of wanting what can be, a distraction to the mind? It doesn’t always seems what it appears, imagining that person day and night and getting a satisfying feeling out of it. After a while it becomes painful. Lying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling or staring at various objects in the room and thinking of what would happen when that day would come; the exhilarating feeling of being with that person you truly love and the moment where the world just stops, staring into each others eyes and embrace lips with chills running down the body. But at the end it was all a dream. Returning to reality and realizing that it was nothing but a desired image that can never become to be.
No one likes to face reality, which is the reason why we dream. Picturing in our minds of something perfect, something real. The desire we have for people and not knowing of whether or not their will be a day of companionship.
Interesting. Your thoughts on love are truly thought provoking. The way in which you phrased the quote was well put together and each sentence was carefully placed. I have no doubt anyone who has ever experienced the sensation of love will smile upon reading this, just as I have. You're a very good writer and I could feel your tone through your words. An engaging blog that is definitely worth a light read, perhaps somewhere like a coffee shop :) Beautiful music as well.
ReplyDeleteAlley! You're post really got me thinking about why we dream and about the people we dream about. It's quite strange how as humans we can become so infatuated with one person even if we don't personally know them. I have realized that many people dream of being with that one boy or girl but never work towards it's. Yet it makes me think if you want it that bad why not go for it? Overall I enjoyed reading you're post! It truly has me thinking.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is true we can't truly give a definition for love. It is a feeling we simply can't describe. Your opinion on why we dream is great it really got me thinking about why we actually dream. I really like your thoughts. It's all good!
ReplyDeleteLove is a dream, there's no true definition because it's all in the head, in the heart. That doesn't mean it isn't real, it just means its not touchable. I loved your post, its rather captivating on the topic, a topic that affects most people, but that most people cant truely describe. Loved the writing style as well (:
ReplyDeleteWow this is definitely a great post. While reading this i found myself connecting with the above statements. i completely agree with your elaboration on the subject of "love." In some ocassions we become easily discouraged by an unreturned love, which manages to drive us crazy sometimes.
