Love vs. Stability


2009
09.22


One of my favorite songs reminds me of how I feel right now. I have trans­lated to Eng­lish, so you are able to read it. It talks about how she pas­sion­ately loves a man, but she is going to choose rea­son.  Even now, I still love my ex with all my heart.  How­ever, he is screwed and it would never work out.  There­fore, it’s bet­ter to be with some­one who makes me smile and won’t cause the me the heartache that he has.

I feel that I will never be truly in love with any­one again.  My time has passed, and now I just have to find some­one who will be my best friend, and I will deeply care about.  Even when I am excited about a guy, I still miss my ex immensely.  It’s just how things are.

If I ever saw him again, how would I react?  What if I were with another man? I think I would smile and say hello.  I just hope that my hands don’t shake, and I don’t stut­ter the words out.  The last time I found out that he was in the same mall as me, I couldn’t speak, started sweat­ing, and began shak­ing uncon­trol­lably.  Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

Just like the small­est mos­quito in the pack
I fol­low your light even if it leads me to death
I fol­low you like peri­ods that fol­low the
sui­ci­dal phrases that look for an end.

Just like the poet that decides to work in a bank
Its very pos­si­ble that I would per­form a judo key
On my heart in the worst sce­nario
forc­ing it to sign this dec­la­ra­tion while he cries

I keep quiet because its most com­fort­able to fool myself.
I keep quiet because rea­son defeated the heart,
But no mat­ter what hap­pens , even if some­one else by my side,
In silence I will still love you.

Just the way the bum thinks the movies are sense­less
Just like a resigned flower dec­o­rates an ele­gant office.
I promise ill refer to the first one
that doesn’t hurt me as “my love”
And laugh­ter will become a lux­ury when I have for­got­ten you.

And just the way one waits when one waits on a may square,
I try to light a can­dle in secrecy just in case
We meet by luck, reduc­ing this words to a piece of paper.

I keep quiet because its most com­fort­able to fool myself.
I keep quiet because rea­son defeated the heart,
But no mat­ter what hap­pens , even if some­one else by my side,
In silence I will still love,
In silence I will be in love.
In silence I will think of only. you.

You Need Love and Patience


2009

“With love and patience, noth­ing is impossible.”

I’ve always had a prob­lem with being patient when it comes to rela­tion­ships.  If I meet some­one, I usu­ally plan our wed­ding before I even go on the sec­ond date with the per­son. It’s some­thing that I am try­ing to work on, and I feel I am get­ting bet­ter at it.  How­ever, as much as I am try­ing, it’s still hard.
One of the things that I am try­ing to learn is that even if things don’t work out with a per­son, I shouldn’t feel like I wasted my time.  I usu­ally have those feel­ings, and then get dis­cour­aged, and don’t want to try again.  I have to under­stand that with love, you go through a lot of “no“s to get to the “yes.”  For some rea­son, I feel that I am get­ting closer because my atti­tude has changed.
I am more pos­i­tive, and I am now attract­ing peo­ple who mir­ror that.  Before, I was meet­ing emo­tion­ally unavail­able, depressed indi­vid­u­als who can’t even make them­selves happy.  It was always the same drama but with dif­fer­ent peo­ple.  Now that I am happy, I am meet­ing peo­ple who are will­ing to take the plunge with me.  I am still work­ing on how picky I am.
I have three prospects right now, and I am excited to get to know them bet­ter.  Even if it doesn’t work out, I will smile and con­tinue try­ing.  With­out try­ing, I will never find love.

Am I Running Out of Time?

Am I run­ning out of time?

You sit here. Over 30 years old. All your clos­est friends are mar­ried. Many of them have kids. Now they are begin­ning to play kids sports together. They take fam­ily trips together. When it is guys night out they love to live vic­ar­i­ously through me but that last but a night. What hap­pened to how it was in the late 80’s tele­vi­sion show ‘A Dif­fer­ent World’? I thought you go to col­lege or grad school and meet your sup­posed wife and live hap­pily ever after? How naive I was in my younger years. They say “be patient” or “all good things come to those who wait”. Really? I hope so because my patience is being tested. If my hopes were an emo­tion, they would be wary. Gen­er­ally you assume that all your clos­ests friends and fam­ily will be around when it is finally time to get hitched. What if that is not the case? What if a par­ent passes away? What if a close friend or sib­ling sud­denly goes? These ques­tions roll through my head on a peri­odic basis. I’m not try­ing to be mor­bid but this needs to be asked.

I see some friends who are active with their kids. I want that. Even older friends play com­pet­i­tive sports with their kids. I would love that. But … Am I run­ning out of time?

Sin­gle life is cool don’t get me wrong. But sin­gle for­ever? Not so much. I work, I play, I am open to new ideas … But so far that elu­sive great one has not appeared. Will it work out for me before the clock strikes midnight?

Or am I out of time?
