When I was 21

I thought love was about wanting something so bad and not letting go.
Now i know its about learning how to set it free.


I thought love is when you have so many things in common and you're totally in sync.
Now i know its about agreeing to disagree amicably.


I thought love just happens, that its a force on its own..
Now i know love is the result of so many factors coming together at the right time when you need them to.


I thought love was about never letting your loved ones down..
Now i know its more about having a forgiving heart.


I thought that love is meant to be forever..
Now i know that forever can be a day or a lifetime, that we hardly ever have a say in it.. but that we have to make every moment memorable none the less.


I thought that love is blind..
Now i know that love is seeing all the little imperfections, and not minding.


I thought love is all u need to make a relationship work.
Now i know that love can only get u so far..


- to playing it right x

you need a lot more than love for anything to last. respect for starters.

Well said VERY well said...

Unfortunately love has become a secondary factor next to all factors that are in fact less important than love itself!

Taqo said...

that was pretty :)
to me, love is is sitting on the phone for hours, just hearing each others breathing with nothing much at all to say, and not getting bored in the least :p
oh, and i'm 21, lol.

In just 5 years... Your perspectives change on what matters the most.


I wonder what would be different when you're 30.

Fastidious Babe said...

amu: its still love none the less :P


ruby woo: i'm glad it came through x


a journal entry: thanx babe.. glad u did!


baroque: u kinda make my day xx and you would be surprised how your views change as u pick up new experiences and make your own unique definitions of things like love..


big pearls: that we do x


lono: yes it is, and thank you..


mi: i chose 21 not 18 because the decisions u made then were those of an adult.. still very young at heart though..


taqo: spoken like one too lol xx


dreamzy: life is all about change.. and learning from your experiences.. i hope that by the age of 30 i would not turn into a complete pessimist.

Peony said...

touching ;* and nice choice in music..
but it's also a bit sad..

Lono said...

~ Dreamzy ~ it will change yes but never die

Fajorie™ said...

OMG
that's so TRUE !!

Love is crap :S
i dont even think that it exists ..

~ Dreamzy ~ said...

Lomo ~

Definately not.


Its just that I always notted that : In five years people dont change its just their books and friends ! which changes thier perspectives :)

Fastidious Babe said...

peony: it is sad.. but c'est la vie!


feminist: of course it does! its just that the way you see it changes with time..

Lono said...

Its taken me a while to bring myself to comment on this piece...in those few moments its like time stood still and forever came back.
I love the passion in your truth and the raw honesty you portray.

This has to be your most poignant entry yet.
