Bottom line is we all just want to be happy. Most people prefer someone else there to share in our happiness. Someone to hold, someone to kiss, someone just to call to hear his or her voice. And who doesn't want that? Sure, you have the few people who like their single life and like being able to do what they want when they want, and there's nothing wrong with that, but at some point in life everyone wants that person to hold, even if only for a split second in time.
Then there's that person you chase time and time again. The one that always seems to be just out of reach, and so you try harder and push yourself further to no avail. Sometimes I don't think you would ever admit to it but you would give up the world for this person. When they cry, you collect the shed tears soaked into your shoulder. When they laugh, you were the one that made them. And when going to bed at night, they're your last thought before slipping into a dream of them, and your first thought when you awake. You sit and listen to them, and help with their relationships, as faulty as they may be, and you dry more of their tears without question, without so much as an objective idea.
Maybe we like the pain? Maybe we like it cause it gives us something to do? Or maybe it gives us a reason to be, someone for others to unleash on. Lets face it, a lot of times we would rather watch a big dramatic action movie than another sweet love story where everything is perfect, which never happens in reality. It leaves nothing up to the imagination and at times can be cut and dry, or otherwise dull. I'm not sure. Or maybe it's because we hide our emotions due to the fact that being rejected is possibly one of the worst feelings that can happen to a person, especially coming from a person you care for. So I ask you this question, do you keep chasing, do we settle for less, or have we already given up on ourselves?
