If It's Not Going To Be As Sweet As This...

 

If it's not going to be as sweet as this...

If you do not gaze into each other's eyes lovingly like this...

If he doesn't take time to be alone with you and bring you out on romantic dates...

And if you can't be yourself when he takes you out on these romantic (and not-so-romantic) dates...

If you walk in the malls and don't hold hands...

 If he doesn't kiss you every chance he gets...

If your goodbyes are not as heartbreaking as this...

If you do not look forward to growing old together...

And know that you will never find happiness, comfort, and contentment in each other's presence...

If you look at her and your heart doesn't smile a genuine, happy smile that reaches the corners of your mouth and brings a twinkle to your eyes...

Then I wish you this line from one of my favorite movies:

"I want you to get swept away out there. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish. Yeah, be deliriously happy or at least leave yourself open to be. I know it's a cornball thing, but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. I say, fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head and listen to your heart. Cause the truth is, honey, there's no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try, because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."

- William Parish from Meet Joe Black
