Don't date.
Apparently that's not romantic.
It's romantic to meet someone… speech some… wait forever… meetup in a location where her presence is tolerable… listen forever… eat something… do it all again at night… kiss because the moon is pretty… do it all again… a little harder… it feels weird… have sucky sex eventually because you kind of have too after you paid, very gallantly one might add, for 3 dinners and a movie… stay together… get a little better at sex – as in, learn how you can tolerate each other… complain about school and work and the government and grow into a gray mid-aged boring old sod.

Apparently that’s the epitome of romance; couply couples, with small cute
gestures like post-its, presents and brunch to make life not so fucking boring
you can't take it.
Well forgive me but I'll pass. I don't date. We don't date. We are the
wild ones who roam the world and live under the moon and the sky. We're the
wild ones who need to be swept away by the wind and burnt by the night. When we
meet lust and love intertwined consumes the world, us angels of the night,
burning from within, uncompromising, unaccepting. tolerating nothing.
I'll stay with a girl; I'll stay
with a girl for as long as she makes my blood boil and my mind crazy and my
body ache. I'll stay with her if we meet and sparks fly and her eyes are so
intense they can burn your skin with a glance and her touch makes the burn
explode in blue and purple fire in the crimson of the blood pumping in your veins.
I'll stay with her if she makes your mind roam wild and free and explore the
world. I'll stay with her forever if she makes me better and more alive and intense,
but only as long as she does.
But by god I ain't gonna date her. Dates is when you set the scene to compromise, by definition, before the need to compromise has ever even arisen.
Does that really make us not romantic?

makes you very eccentric.
ReplyDeleteseems to me like you are only willing to accept love at first sight - the kind that takes you out within seconds. i disagree - i actually had "love at first sight" turn into nothing over time. while other more subtle beginnings were a huge long romance for me later.
There are no plural types of love. Just a subjective view of love. To each of us, love is something else. For Ari it is that. For some, it is when it starts with friendship. Some like the dating process. You can't agree or disagree on love. There are no wrong or right answers. Love is subjective and personal. The only common aspect in all experiences of love is that, when you love, you just know.
