I have a confession to make: I've never been in love.
I have never known what it feels like to have that one person that makes my heart skip a beat
I have never known what it feels like to have someone to go to when I'm feeling blue.
I have never known what it feels like to want to spend the rest of my life with someone.
Sure, I have friends who I love dearly, but platonic love and romantic love are two different things. I just want someone to hold my hand goddamnit!
Am I little bitter that I've never been in love? Maybe a little bit. I guess I'm just frustrated because a lot of my relationships don't make it past the three-month mark. I don't know if it's me or the people I choose, but my dating track record is less than stellar. It's like I somehow choose all of the pieces of coal, missing every diamond within the rough.
How is it though, that so many people I know always have a new partner to gush about? Is there a big box store called Babes-R-Us or something? But then, in three months time, it all crumbles away and they're on to the next partner.
I have one thing to say about never being in love: it makes me values what I do have so much more.
I believe that love is one of the strongest forces in nature. Sure, it's literally just the reaction of chemicals in your brain, but the brain is a pretty powerful organ after all. When you build your relationship instead of jumping headfirst into it, it becomes a thing of beauty. You share an unbreakable bond with someone you never even knew existed until you met them.
Honestly, I'd rather let friendship turn to love. That's how I know it'll be true.
