For the first time when I looked into your eyes
My mind, recently, has been flooded with thoughts of love relationships.
Scenarios of difficult situations and how love prevails keep playing and replaying in the back of my mind. This is all blamed because I have just watched the movie 'The Notebook' (I know I'm behind time) for like 3 times this week. (I'm sure those who've watched it agrees that it was a terrific love story.) And also, I've been reading a lot of love stories written by fans of the 24 series. If this keeps going on, I'll be in big trouble.
It kept me thinking whether we have lost the passion for each other. Don't get me wrong we love each other very much. But somehow, it doesn't seems as 'fiery' as described in the stories and how it used to be when we first started. I mean ,in the fictional stories, the love described is endless and and passionate. It never gets old and boring. It seems so fantasied and fairytale-like.
So, we talked about it. And we came to a few conclusions. First, comparing your love life to a fictional love story ain't the best idea. why? It's FICTIONAL. Haha, advice to those gals out there: Try not expect your guy to be like Landon in 'A Walk To Remember'. It's very pressuring and seems impossible for them to meet the standard. And it just might wreck the relationship. But then again, they just might surprise you once in a while. I think surprises are always better than disappointmets.
Second, our relationship lost its so-called passion mainly because, in my opinion, it has been so stable all along. Compared to the stories we read, we hardly go through emotional roller coaster rides. For example, she being kidnapped by terrorists and to save her, he would have to commit treason and go to jail for 20 years. Or she thinking that she lost him in an explosion just to find out he was safe after all. All the mixed emotions. All the difficult choices to make. We don't have to face those situation that put us to the test. It's been so easy, so stable.
Thirdly, according to him, we have matured as a couple. I mean, it's been quite a while since we first started dating. 3 years? Yeah, so the excite ment when we first started has pretty much died down. Not because we don't have feelings for each other, just because it has been so long. Little things may not excite us that much anymore maybe because we have grown. For example, a kid would be so excited when his daddy brings him out for ice cream. When he grows older, he doesn't have that excitement of eating ice cream anymore but that doesn't mean that he doesn't love it. Ya get whudda mean?
Hahaha....but this is just our opinions. In the end, we know that our feelings for each other have never changed. Lesson to learn: Joanne should stop reading love stories and watching love movies, if not, Kerry will start having headaches. =)
