Love

We all long for a soulmate, whether we are looking for someone to share our thoughts with, care for, or just simply love. Every now or so, when a new attraction steps into your life, and you find yourself an interest, the "game" begins.

The "game" I'm referring to is the going of back and forth to impress one another, yet not seem overly impressed, because it may seem you are too desperate. However, you must show enough interest to make sure the opposite knows you are interested. Confusing? Yes. Why must we always play a game with one another? Why can't we save ourselves the time and pain, and simply say, "I like you"? Sometimes when you do, in fact, show you care for them, and say so, they simply ignore it - trying to not fall for it, because they do not want to heartbroken. They choose to wait it out, to see if the love is authenic. It is all a game we play amongst each other.

We even go as far as not calling each other, even if we really want to speak with the other person. Why? Because again, we might come off "desperate". But to whom? Ourselves? That's just foolish. We must not hold back, for if we do, the opposite might lose hope and interest, all together. However, to be completely honest, finding the new interest and building the foundation is actually sometimes more joyful than the actual relationship - not to say the relationship is bad. But the "feelings" we get, and the smiles that fill our faces everytime the other person calls, or says something to hint at a future togetherness, makes us get that feeling.

You feel a certain way, and I probably do to, so we should not hold back. It is better to have loved then lost, then not loved at all, as Alfred Lord Tennyson had said it.
