Cheesy::
Because we need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet. I mean, what does anyone's life really mean? But in a marraige, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things. All of it. All the time, everyday. You're saying, "Your life will not go unnoticed, because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.".
-From the film Shall We Dance
I am no one special, just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten.
But in one respect, I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and for me, that has always been enough.
When you fall in love it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. When it subsides you have to make a decision, you have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not the breathlessness, it is not the excitement, nor the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not laying awake in the night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body.
That is just "being in love" which any one of us can convince ourselves that we are.
Love itself is what is left over when "being in love" has burned itself away.
Doesnt sound very exciting does it, but i assure you it is! Excited na kong mag Valentines'. HAHAHA. Labo. I am hungry. I am sleepy. I loff Patrick Dempsey. Feed me, people. Feed me. :D
