There's this guy, and...

[StrawberryPez]

I am obsessed with him. He consumes my thoughts, my emotions, my heart. And I like it. I more than like it, I love it. I love that when I wake up in the morning he's the first person I think of, and when I go to bed at night he's the last person on my mind. He fills my dreams and warms my heart. My days are a million times brighter and a lot more peaceful. To whisper his name brings me such joy, I want to cry. *dreamy sigh*

Am I the only one who ever feels this way? Do you ever feel this way? Is there anyone that occupies your mind 24/7?

 

[Black_Bird]

... You don't have to speak about me in such flowery terms, hon; you can go ahead and just say my name, you know?

Seriously: Yes, I know what you mean. It's not always the best thing either as you can be blinded to his falts. Although it's such a comfortable and beautiful place to be, I would shake those feeling from your head before you attempt to persue him; if not, it will affect your relationship.

 

[StrawberryPez]

I didn't know you were okay with me telling people about us, so I didn't mention your name


It is such a bitter sweet feeling. I love it, but I hate it. I'm taking things slow and letting happen what will happen. Hopefully I won't end up scarred and broken. *shrugs*

It is a good feeling isn't it cutie! ahhh, how I dream for that to come back to me, but alas it has been quit some time since my feet have graced those lovely but distant shores.

Maybe on day again.....this time I'll be smarter though.

Have fun!!

It is; you just have to keep telling yourself that he is merely a man. Until he proves himself otherwise, he is just another guy. Make it your mantra...

Until he proves to be more.

That's all fine and dandy, but how do I know when he's proven himself. What if I wait my whole life and never know? If every time I feel like I could fall in love with someone and I say "He has to prove himself", how do I know that doesn't push people away from me? If you think about it we spend our whole lives proving ourselves. I've known people for years that seem like amazing people, and then all of the sudden, out of the blue they hurt me.

So I guess in all what I'm trying to say is, we all approach life differently. I may be falling madly in love with him, but I have my ways of protecting myself and I'm sure he's felt their presence. We all have ways of keeping ourselves safe, but no matter how hard we try we can't always stop ourselves from getting hurt.

Yes, I know what you mean. I've been there and I've done that. It's the most exhilirating feeling in the world. However, MY experience left me a bit scarred as it ended really badly. I would like to feel like that again, although I don't know if I would be so brave to do it again.

I know where you're coming from SXCRgirl. Maybe I'm in the same boat.

Ahhhhhh, now I know why I prefer to fly, instead of taking a cruise. Those "boats" are dangerous, aren't they?

I'm sorry to hear that UTL. *hugs*

Hi Berry! Good to see things still seem to be going well for you

Sorry I can't give you any useful advice though, I've never been in love - never even been close to being in love...maybe you should give me some advice

Actually, I think I just follow my own version of Black_Bird's mantra too religiously - but on the good side I've never had my heart broken either. At least I think that's good, perhaps I'm missing out on one of those character building things though.

 

[Wave_Rider]

deadly Rider, they're deadly.

Gulp !!!! In that case, next time I'm on the Promenade deck, I'll remind my 'greens' NOT to take in the scenery. But what kind of way to live my life would that be?

 

[Nora]

It's the coolest feeling in the world. Embrace it now regardless of whether it works out or not.

The nicest part is that even if it doesn't work out, one day you'll feel that same giddiness over someone else, and maybe that one WILL work out.

'Scuse me now. I have to go shoot myself for this moment of hopeful optimism.

 

[StrawberryPez]

Hi Crysede! It's been a while!

I know people who are like you, who have never been in love. I am very close to someone like that actually, and she tells me often that she wishes she knew what that pain felt like. I always want to tell her "no you don't" but at the same time, I wish she did.

I hate that this thread turned into a "Love sucks" thread, it was supposed to be a "Isn't life grand" thread. *shrugs* Oh well.

funny thing crysede, you know I don't think the pleasure is worth the pain, I want to believe it is, but everything inside me is telling it isn't.

SXCRgirl....its alright, I'm a better person, but the hug was great! Lets just be smarter next go round!

Caution.. Long winded reply ahead

Pez - I know EXACTLY what you are talking about... Honestly I don't know that I've ever thought and "wondered" about such a special woman as much as I do now. I don't know what I would do withour her in my life which is scarry in some ways because six months ago she was a person I had never seen or met before and now I can't see her not being in my life. And while that fact does make me worry at times, it's a worry I embrace because it shows to myself how much I do love her and just how much she means to me. I'd much rather feel this way now, than feel less "absorbed" and not as caring towards her.


Black_Bird - Certainly the old saying "love is blind" is one that can be applied to every person who has ever been in love. At times it can be just as harmful as it is wonderful to be carefree and blided by love. Of course if you had to take how many times love has led to hurt and broken hearts and compare that to the times it's led to true, pure love I'm sure the ratio would be stacked high in favor of the former. And you are right, deep feelings like that should always come with an air of caution and a trial period but even then extra defenses put up to prevent hurt can be cut through sometimes with alarmingly ease.

I've nearly commited myself twice to two very life altering desicions based on love and my deep trust which at both times I felt was well founded over years of a relationship. Just before each choice was acted on though my trust and heart were broken. While I was deeply hurt both times, I honestly don't regret either exprience because in the end it's made me a stronger person and in the end when I do find myself with that special someone all past experiences will tell me to savor the current one.


I posted some lyrics yesreday.. A song called "Live For The Moment" and I'm finding it's a creedo I become more attached to. I can't change the past.. It's happened. I do wish things in both of my major relationships would have turned out better than they did, but I can't let the past take away from any joy and happyness I may feel now. And as for the future, one lyric hit the nail on the head so to speak...

You'll never find your pleasure
If you're worried about your pain

I can't say it better myself.

Life is grand! Love is grand! You just have to be smart, with both. They can make or break ya.

I wish I did too - I know I can deal with pain though, what worries me more is whether I could deal with love

So.... Pez is mad about a guy, and her pal Lion's mad about some girl...there wouldn't happen to be some connection here would there?

Up Too Late, you know the really funny thing is, that I'm actually quite certain that the pain would be worth it - and yet I still can't seem make myself that vulnerable to someone else. I'm probably one of the few real nuts out there who's rational mind says 'yeah, go for it!' and whose heart says 'no bloody way!' lol

 

[glamorilla]

I love that feeling. Doesn't happen often but it is nice.

Hope you get what you want.

Maybe so
I'm pretty sure it is worth it, actually I know its worth it, there's just a big chunck of me, my heart....that says it isn't.

I'm know I'll find love, I'm pretty sure of that. I know I have a lot to offer, and I know there's someone who will appreciate that. So I'm not worried in the least.

Recently, yes.

All too true, UTL. Been near the breaking part a time or two.

No, you are not the only one ... I know how you feel.

I feel the same way about my man, I think about him every waking moment and dream with him. I think about him and I can hear his voice, see his beautiful eyes , feel his touch.

I know exactly how you feel and its such a wonderful feeling.
