I was watching chat as I was preparing my invoices and someone had written that they were on cloud 9 and falling in love, etc.
Isn't the "falling in love" the greatest feeling? It's easy to fall in love. You can't wait to see them, can't eat, can't sleep, songs that you have heard a million times suddenly have a new meaning, smiling all the time like a goof, deep sighs at the mere thought of that person.
The point comes, however, when one comes off that high. We all would love to stay up on that high, but we have come come back down to the ground of reality and life at some point. You become "comfortable" with one another, You become busy with everyday life, work deadlines, family issues, the social life you left behind while you were on that cloud, etc. The love continues to grow, but without that high.
People make the mistake of thinking they have " fallen out of love" when that isn't the case at all. They have simply journeyed into the next level of love. They give up too easily.
Love has become as " disposable" as plastic, paper and tin.
Once that high is gone, just toss it and go to the next one. It's sad. I remember my grandparents sitting on the front porch swing on the farm, his arm around her and her head on his shoulder. He would whisper something in her ear and she would giggle like a teenager. They struggled on that farm, they made mistakes, they disagreed... but NEVER did it cross their minds to call it quits. I want that love.... althought, I must admit it's scary.. and it shouldn't be. It's not the love that I fear.. but the falling in love and having no one to catch me when I fall.
Grandma used to say, " the further you look, the less you see". It took me years to figure out what she meant. Sometimes, what we need and want, is right in front of us. But, being the humans that we are, we tend to look beyond that.. in hopes of finding something better. By the time we realize that the best thing for us is right in front of us, it's often too late.. they are gone. Love should not be complicated.
Love shouldn't be analyzed to death. It's not always logical.. sometimes.. it just is.

I fall enough already without interfering

Great write, though
