relationships

Ok, I broke the rules and bought a bottle of Irish Whiskey tonight. That met with its perilous lover...the songs of unrequited love. I heard this song on a commercial the other day and almost instinctively reached for a bottle of whiskey. The song is called "Almost Lover" Download it if you get time.

It shakes my world because of its ability to remind me of what I thought was happiness. It's very haunting to remember those precious few moments when everything came together, and somehow you just knew you were doing exactly what you were supposed to be doing.

Romantic or not, everyone has experienced this feeling. At some point, we all envision our goals, our own perfect perception of what will make us happy. And if we are very lucky, we reach some sort of realization of that goal. For me, it was a brief moment of waking up next to the right girl. At that point, life seemed to have met a nexus where my powerful imagination met with reality. For some reason, I was being blessed with that rare moment.

I think that after you reach that point, expectations go downhill.

I am sure of one thing. Your point of view on love is clearly defined by your place on the timeline. This timeline begins with the amatuer view of true love, unconquerable. At the other end of the spectrum is the belief that people end up together, with no magic involved. Somewhere in the middle, we all ended up sacrificing.

I forever wait the inspirational spark that changes the way I rant about love at 2 in the morning...
