To The Dogs
Relationships now have fallen into the category of mediocrity. And I'll be damned if I was taken along for the ride. I believe that romance is dead. Either that, or just way overrated.
People are getting together just for novelty's sake-caught up in the idea of romance and thinking that it's always like how it is in the books. Or just plain ol' superficiality-having someone you could call a boyfriend/girlfriend so you don't lose out on the whole dating game.
What happened to passion? Does no one have any sexual chemistry nowadays? Where is all the electricity you feel when you're attracted to someone?
Am not trying to sensationalise the idea of passion, but it seems people have forgotten how important a certain degree of "can't keep my eyes-hands-lips of you" is. It's easy to like someone, and these feelings are so fickle that I guess some people mistake it for being something more. That's when the use of a good dictionary comes in (Re. previous posts). I hear of people complaining of being bored with their partners and I don't understand why. Before I start something with someone, I make a mental checklist, namely asking if I can see myself snogging this guy in the future.
Simple things.
I know passion can fizzle out in the long term. But that's how you know if things are for real. Sure you might have so many things in common; family and friends all approve and even your star signs confirm you're compatible-but in the end, it all boils down to pure chemistry and just the "click" of things.
That's why I've put the song lyrics to Third Eye Blind's "Deep Inside Of You" below. Everytime I listen to it, I think just how perfect something like that would be. It's not obsession, but just mind-numbing, insatiable passion between two people. It's special because it's rare.
And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you
'Cuz I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you
"Pick me up as I kick and scream, drag me into the bedroom and lock the door." Give me passion over romance any day of the week.
