Everyone around me seems to be in a hurry to find "the one" that they are going to spend the rest of their lives with. (Not everyone) but a lot of people. I do go to a christian university where the pressure seems to be a little bit more intense. At times I get annoyed with the ones that date for like two weeks and are super crazy in love with each other.But then, there are times where I see two people get together, and fall in love in a few months. Back in the day I believed that you had to be with someone for a year or so before you knew if you were in love or whatever. But for some, I have watched them meet and fall in love and just know, that that person was meant for them. To me that's beautiful. I am not certain of many things so its hard for me to understand how sure someone can be that they have met "the one" but I think, that when you know you know. It doesn't have to be as complicated as we all make it...It doesn't take years to figure out. When you find someone that makes you happy, someone that has the same values, someone that just feels right. I think you just know. Right now in my life, i am very much single and pretty certain I will not be settling down anytime soon (because I just don't feel like its time for me to date, but we wont get into that) but when I do begin dating... It doesn't have to be such a complicated thing, like I have made it out to be in the past. Love shouldn't be rushed, pressured, or crazy complicated. It should just be right.
"Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires" Songs of Songs 8:4
there, that's all I have right now :)
So we lie here in the dark
All the wrong things on fire
In sickness and in health
To be with you, just to be with you
In your wedding dress
To have and to hold
'Cause even at my best
I wanna let go
And you hold me in your arms
And all that I can see
Is my future in your hands
And all that I can feel
Is how long ever after is
It's all that I can do
To be with you, just to be with you
In your wedding dress
To have and to hold
'Cause even at my best
I wanna let go
Thought I'd lost you
Thought I'd lost you
I gave you away
Thought I'd lost you
I'm jealous of the moon
For how it moves the waves
'Cause in your wedding dress
To have and to hold
'Cause even at my best
I wanna let go
And I wanna be somebody else now
And I wanna thicken my skin
And I wanna wish it all
Just wish it all away again- Matt Nathanson
