Eyes Wide Open - Gotye

For the special woman in my heart:

My eyes are finally wide open and I can see that you’re the only one for me. I’m abandoning past lovers who have lingered for far too long. I’m moving on with you into the unknown. Except I’m not afraid of not knowing what is going to happen, because I know whatever we do and whatever we become, it will be a worthy life-transforming experience. You bring a comfort to my life that I never had before. With you, the waters are calm and continually flowing. I never had to chase you, nor convince you, nor seduce you. We just naturally gravitated towards each other as if ordained by scientific fact. The universe keeps bringing us together in creative ways, sending little signs of how we are meant to be. I always sought to feel completely at peace with someone because I never cared for the roller coaster of emotions that exists in the realm of romantic movies. Conflict is not my thing, I don’t care for it nor seek it. And now I have you, my true embodiment of zen. I only want to focus on you, and you alone. Because, unlike with most women in my life, you enthrall me to no end. My eyes are wide open and I can see that our story is not a cliche forgettable Hollywood love story; which involves crying, desperate declarations of love, heartbreak, and heart-mending. Our story is quite the opposite, it’s actually a light-hearted Shakespearean comedy, which from the beginning to end, no matter what happens, it is the funnest and most profound time of our lives.

“We’re all in the same boat staying afloat for the moment.”

Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall In Love) - Conal Fowkes

I’m a man who revels in the simple pleasures of life. I love for the sake of loving. Nothing else is important because love motivates me, warms my heart, and makes life worth living for. I sing this wonderful song loudly and proudly, it describes my own life and how I see the world. Let’s just do it. Let’s fall in love. Let’s flourish our love and spread it across the world. People enjoy making life seem complicated for some reason, but it really isn’t. There is nothing really complicated about living if you are loving.

“But that’s why birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it. Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.”

So soft thy lips

that slow time,

So tender thy heart

that warms mine,

So beautiful thy soul

that makes you one of a kind.

In the shambles of my mind,

you are the inspiration for my eternal rhyme.

My dream is not to be loved. It’s not to be understood. It’s not to be comforted. My dream is to understand, to comfort, and to love. I don’t seek a woman who would love me till the end of time because that is too much to ask of someone. I prefer not to yearn for things out of my grasp. That is why I only yearn to fully love someone. I don’t care whether the love is returned or not. I just wanted to realize, in a sudden whim, that I truly miss someone. I just want to feel love boiling inside of me and overflowing outwards. I want to love, not be loved because I would never would want to tell you what to feel. I want to love you regardless of what you say or do. I want to love you unconditionally for who you naturally are. I don’t care if you break my heart or keep it warm eternally, I just want to love and be absolutely happy expecting none in return.

All I want is for you to come closer. I want those few moments before a kiss to linger on for eternity. I want to feel your warm skin as I caress your angelic face and gaze at your soft lips. I want our bodies wrapped around each other as we share a heavenly connection of lust, love, and everything in between.
