The Ripped Soul

My last birthday, I remember talking to Shea about things. And she asked me this, once.

It's the same question everyone's been asking me, or the same thing everyone's been telling me. So if you thought this, here goes.

--

shea: why dont you take a break for a while?
shea: and just be like "f you guys, I don't need anyone to make me happy"

me: lol. i dont. i could be by myself and i could still be happy.

shea: then why not?

me: *shrugs*
me: guess i'm just looking for someone that'll turn the tables for once
me: i mean, don't you wanna be with someone that will make your day when you wake up?
me: that'll stick by you good and bad?
me: that'll listen to you, care for you... and love you?

That's my answer, if you were thinking the question at all. See, life is short, and true - while there may be many fishes in the sea, I don't want all the many fishes. I just want one fish. The right fish. I want to love that fish, and I can only wish, pray and hope that the fish would love me too.

While the other might be a banana and I might be a popsicle, if love was in the equation at all, the banana could go into the freezer to be with the popsicle. Why? Love. The popsicle could go out and be with the banana in the fruit basket. Popsicle will melt, true.. maybe they could fit a chunk of dry ice in the fruit basket so the popsicle stays comfortable. Why would they do that? Out of love.

Love.

It'll make you do the craziest things, make you sacrifice anything, risk every single thing, and you would do them all out of love. So can all relationships work out? My answer is yes. If you're willing to pull through the fights, the anger and sadness, the misery and complications, the emotions of it all, if there is still love in your relationship; if you still have feelings for the other, if you still want the other person, if you still need them; then my friend - yes. Your relationship has all the potential to work out.

If a relationship is to work out, it would. It takes two hands to clap. As long as love is in the equation, fights, or no fights, arguments or none, it will.

All it takes is a little "want to."

And while you may "want to" ...the question is, will the other person want to?
