Romance is about candlelit dinners and flowers and sweet nothings. My idea of love is when someone wants to make your life easier. Taking out the garbage unasked every once in a while, for instance. And saying "I love you" is different than showing it.
Gosh...this is SO true. I took it a lil differently. Words...we can speak and say things but they don't mean anything til you actually do something to show how much you mean it. And love...sometimes you don't realize how strongly you love someone until something happens where you have to give up something precious to you in order to prove how much you love that person. It hurts sometimes...but love is so precious that it is worth it.
my love how many letters have i written you that i dont know if u have read how many have i composed in my head, how many tears i shed thinking of you missing you wow, its been 4 years almost, and yet your still the first person i think of when things are hard and i need comfort, seeing you the other night and you basically ignoring me the whole night i tried loving someone else, i really tried but i cant because u took my heart and never gave it back, that shabbat, we had just met a few weeks earlier, you took my arm and told me you were never going to let go and that you never felt so safe, that moment lives with me always because you did let go, and i have not been able to. there is something about you that i cant explain, i always want to be with you, i always want to hear your voice i am forever linked to you as much as i want to deny it. yet, your cold, detached but i love you and everything is so messed up, and i just want to go back to that shabbat when u climb...
I don't usually write about anything Shidduch related. But I saw this today and it really captures how I view shidduchim. People have their theories and opinions about how and why and what. If i get my nose done, go to singles events, make more contacts, anything, then maybe I'll get married sooner. Compromise more. Maybe we need more incentives for shadchanim? My theory. G-d runs the world. He makes Shidduchim. G-d has no crisis. The end.
Words are just words till there are actions that prove what you say...
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'm not a romantic.
