I
want it. I want to claim a love for myself. A love that is felt
beyond a shadow of a doubt. I want to be a craving that can’t
be satisfied, a thirst that can’t be quenched.
I
think I want to live either in a country music song or a movie.
They make it seem like you can just have it, no big deal. If
only we could say "cut – do it again".
I
took love for granted. I thought it came to all of us. That we
naturally grow up, fall in love, and live happily ever after.
As much as I scorn the movie industry or songs on the radio that
portray a dream-like world I find myself wishing to have such
a mystical experience. Like how many times is a woman kissed,
in real life, with a man caressing her face? Or how many people
take time out of their hectic day to stop and appreciate the
loved ones in their lives? And you almost never see couples living
their lives as if today were their last. How often does a man
and woman enjoy sharing an intimate experience realizing all
the levels of sharing there is to be enjoyed? Do they see into
one another’s soul? Do they truly communicate on every channel?
I
want to propose a thought – what if tomorrow never came? How
many regrets would you have? Would your list include – waking
up in the morning with your loved one but you didn’t say "good
morning" and share precious time cuddling. I can’t think of a
better way to start a day. Nope, you probably jumped up running
late for work and were lucky to offer a few grunts as you scurried
around the house.
There’s
tonight or tomorrow to spend that quality moment with the one
I care about – right? Your list of regrets may include, but not
limited to, taking out the garbage, mowing the lawn, sewing the
button back on his work shirt, carrying out any number of domestic
promises. They are important but I don’t think they’d rank up
in the category of regret if tomorrow never comes?
I
would regret parting without saying, "I love you". I would yearn
for one more hug, kiss, cuddle, shared laugh, deep conversation.
I would regret if the man I love were to leave this place without
knowing that I cherished him and loved him with all my heart.
There is so much uncertainty in this world – does it have to
affect our relationships too? I don’t believe so. For me, I live
as if today could be my last. I don’t assume I’ll have unlimited
days to feel, experience, share all that I want with the ones
I care about. Sometimes hearing and feeling how loved I am can
make all the difference in my day. It hurts, literally, to see
people taking for granted what they have. I wish there were a
magic wand I could wave over the world and have everyone stop,
reflect, love and be sure to enjoy the many blessings love bestows
upon us. I wish I could say its never too late – but it could
be one of these days.
