Have you ever wondered about the so-called mind "games" that couples play with one another during courtship? Isn't there just so much material in magazines, self-help books and even love "consultants" or "gurus" that are able tell you of the dos and don'ts in relationships?
Is love really that complicated and a science in its own that so many people make it out to be? I was observing some kids and was reminded of a time when love was so much simpler. It's still the same combination of attraction and affection. When you liked someone, you would just go up and tell the person. You would enjoy spending time with that person and naturally cared about the things about that being. Of course, if the other party didn't feel the same way about you, he/she would just tell you in your face and it would probably be time to move on.
However, these days there's just so much guesswork going on. I was even once told that in the rules of dating, there's a 2-day rule; i.e. wait for 2 days after a date to call the person, so you would not sound too "desperate". I sincerely don't believe there's anything wrong with liking a person just after meeting for the first time and we shouldn't be afraid to let the person know. Yet this again is a taboo in relationships and chances are, you would scare the other party away.
Well the truth is that there's just no formula or rules where love is concerned. Isn't love the same when we were young? Could it really just be the lost of innocence during our transition into adulthood?
Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains the Same
A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like a lunar landing
Make me want to run till I find you
I shut the world away from here
Drift to you, you're all I hear
Everything we know fades to black
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
*Chorus
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
Find the place where we escape
Take you with me for a space
The city buzz, sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through seven bars
I had to find just where you are
The faces seems to blur, they're all the same
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
*Chorus
So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me out
We shall overcome
So all have stayed in place
We should have had the sun
Could have been inside
Instead we're over here
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time, too long defending
You and I are done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change
I, oh I, I
wish this could last forever
I, oh I, I
As if we could last forever
Love remains the same
Love remains the same
