It’s not about love, it’s not about rejection, it’s about not being lonely.
It’s about having that one person to turn to when your world feels chaotic. It’s about finding someone to enjoy those moments that call for a drink… perhaps leading to a hangover. It’s about wandering through the streets while holding the hand of someone who values you. It’s about having that individual who chuckles at your silly jokes, who tells you how beautiful you look without any makeup, who chooses to spend time with you over his friends, who listens to you… or at least feigns interest.
This is what we desire. It’s irrelevant whether that person is “the one” or a so-called prince charming. How you initially crossed paths or the games played to win them over doesn’t matter. It’s not centered around love or rejection… it’s simply about avoiding loneliness.
When you sense that someone wishes to be in your presence, a corner of your heart fills up, akin to an empty balloon inflating with air, causing you to forget everything else. You cast aside the apprehensions of getting hurt, your packed schedule, your so-called standards…
All you’re after is the thrill that accompanies the first date, the initial kiss, the very first night spent together…
All you seek is that exhilarating feeling when your mobile phone begins to ring, and it’s him. Your face transforms without your awareness, and a smile effortlessly appears. People often question why, in matters of love, we all seem vulnerable to moments of folly; yet, regardless of differing opinions, the truth is simple… we can’t bear solitude.
