What a pair we form! Your wild spirit lets me run with reckless abandon. You shine in my constant swooning. In my loving stares, you immerse yourself. In your ability to spin my world, I find myself giddy with pleasure. The romance fits the irrationality. The madness matches the magic. You and I are one, almost as if there isn’t much room for any other.
But since we are sticking to facts, there is another point that I can only admit grudgingly. I am not your first. You came to me, with your stories already started. I don’t claim that I was unaware of this fact. But as love-struck as I was, your previous baggage seemed tiny.
Further, I was convinced that whatever transpired in your past, I would be equipped to handle it. After all, not being with you was a much more maligned option. Your being with someone else, before I ever came in the picture, was something I could not possibly change.
With this past of yours, sometimes our conversations reach difficult ends. Every time we come clean with each other, I find another fact that further dents our union. I too have a past. But you seem not to care! Nor do you question my love.
I don’t want to walk away. I want you; despite your stories, with another lover. I am willing to take the revelation of further dings and imperfections on your outside soul. I am ready to accept the quirks that you came with. I anticipate being further understanding of your needs. You might have had others before me, but I am here to show you that I am all you need now.
I was naive in thinking that you were perfect. You came so close! Instead, you taught me an invaluable lesson.
While true love can cross oceans, you still stand a fair chance of getting soaking wet.
pretty. And perhaps getting soaking wet isn't half as bad a deal.
Thanks Ups. You are right, getting wet hardly seems like a bother when you dry out later. However, getting repeatedly soaked can get old 🙂
I hope you're not talking about the Elise here..too early to fall out of unconditional love with her..!!
I loved this. My favorite one of your entries
Mukund: don't fear. I can never fall out love with a Lotus. The post more about the fact that unconditional love doesn't fix grabby brakes 🙂
Anon: Thank you very much. Looks like this one resonated with you on a personal level. Keep visiting.
Nice! I keep myself away from any "love" related stuff these days.. but this one just gave me the much needed warm fuzzy feeling!
Who's your inspiration??
CD: 🙂 Me too! I am glad you liked this one though. My inspiration? Getting a used (albeit slightly) car 🙂
"Every time we come clean with each other, I find another fact that further dents our union"
pun intended?
🙂 I re-read your post.. and kept telling myself, for once this is not about a car 😐 And apparently it is! Well your blog is called liveforcars.. what was I thinking – great post as always! When I hop into my car each morning – I tell her how awesome she is 🙂 Cars need love too you know… haha
yeah, car again? 🙁
*sigh*
Loved every word. A beautiful analogy expressed in well-written prose and a love(r) that one might envy.
Kappa: Absolutely. I have stopped pretending to not be cheesy. I had always wished I was one of these hardcore nonchalant lovers but alas. I ended being Mr. Cheese.
CD: Sorry to disappoint. again. But sadly, recently I have been having terrible luck with the other kind. They seemed to want better things.
Jasmine: Ha! You know, it is easy for me to claim this is about a car. I can get away with it!
Anon: You are too kind. Thanks.
damn that was beautiful. and i can relate 🙁
YNYL: Thanks!
