I know when people fall in love the rest of the world falls away. Friends get forgotten, jobs become less important and nothing matters except being with that other person. I get it, I accept it but I also know it fades. Sometimes really, really quickly.
That euphoric feeling is so amazing while it lasts and then one day, reality sets in and it all becomes routine again. Everything kind of settles into place and it become the same old every day mundane type of a life you had before, except there is one other person there you have to now take into account with every decision you make. You no longer own your life. You have to begin thinking in terms of WE or US. You no longer make your own rules. Is that the life I want? Really?
When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to decide whether or not your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Why doesn't THAT feeling last? Why doesn't that butterflies in the tummy, you can't think about a day without them feeling last? Why does it all have to stop and morph into reality.
I'd like to live in the land of la la.
