they're just not very filling, huh....
"He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain..."
I don't particularly care for the melody much..and it's not like the lyrics are the best I've ever heard. But they remind us that we always think about how wonderful it'd be to have the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend. Of course we want to be treated well...I mean it's not like we're masochists....
Right?
Well, at least this is the way I'd rather think about it. It's just these moments that define love. It's actually the moments of conflict and being able to come back together that really strengthen the bonds between two people. It's just that...it seems it's the moments of soft, gentle, seemingly perfect love that we remember. That we want to think that love is.
But now I'm reminded, even if it makes me feel what I never wanted to feel again: that I'm in love you.
Even more so, it reminds me of the crucial point I missed once before, and I missed again: no matter how perfect you might try to be..or how perfect the guy or girl who falls for you might seem, no matter how comfortable your relationship is...
It's not the love that makes us feel like we're alive.
Sometimes it's just not enough.
