Something that has always called my attention is that need us as humans have of being loved, the need of having someone by your side.
I want someone who can give sense to all
the love songs and stories, someone to fall asleep with after talking the whole
night. Someone to share toughts and fears who would not get bored of listening,
someone who can grab my hand and take me to the end of the world, someone I can
feel protected with, and I'll feel like he's my comfort zone.
I want
someone who could do whatever it takes for a moment of my time, someone that
worries about my wellness, cares about my interest, and supports my dreams even
when they seem crazy and impossible.
I want someone who can go shopping with me, even
when its not the funniest job, who can surprise me with improvised dinners, and
sees beauty when there's not. Someone that respects my space and understands
when I need a time alone.
I want
someone who can laugh at my jokes even when they're not funny, who can notice
my new haircut. Someone who knows me so well that with just one look can
understand everything that's going through my mind. Someone who can change my
tears of sadness for tears of joy, and always find a way to make me smile.
But... what if instead of feeling that the
songs make sense I'm just looking for a love who doesn't really exist? Maybe
wanting to fall asleep chatting is just me trying to feel that someone wants to
dedicate me some time, because I assume it matters to that someone. Maybe that
wish of being grabed by the hands is a longing for the world to see me and
confirm that all the nice things I said before happen. Beyond feeling protected
and safe, is feeling that someone pay attention.
Sometimes the urgency of feeling wanted,
important or unreachable is so strong we confuse love with need, and the lack
of affection is so heavy it can make anyone be that "SOMEONE",
faking feelings, ignoring attitudes, pretending compliance, all to fulfill a
social paradigm, or just satisfy the basic need of being loved. When true love
should really start from inside us.
