While growing up I listened to the likes of celine don, Westlife,Joe,Rkelly and the likes of them, my head was filled with the lyrics of their songs and how love should be, like that was not enough, my favorite TV show was soap opera.. Damn!. I watched the likes of Diego and Paloma, second chance, passion! You just name it!
So in my head true love was supposed to be everything I see in movies and the lyrics of the love songs and my first kiss was supposed to be magical, sweep me off my feet kind of thing, I'm supposed to have butterflies in my tummy and sugar rush
But guess what?
It was the opposite
As I didn't like my first kiss at all, infact it was a totally disaster ,I hated it and I remember splitting all day long
Then that actually made me wonder if everything I was seeing in movies was real but my hopeless romantic won't just listen!
So I went on with my fairtales of how love should be
It should be everything I see in movies
It should be perfection
Damn!
I expected alot from love
Too much expections hurts I tell you!
Then Boom!
I fell in love but it didn't last long
Because of all my expectations
He was suppose to call me the first thing in the morning, I was suppose to be the only thing on his mind, he ought to give me 24/7 attention, he ought to be perfect
Did you guys noticed I was just saying he? And didn't say anything about the she?
Lol
The fantasy over shadow the reality
Maybe if I knew better we'd still be together maybe!
But that was like 7 or 8 years ago!
Yes! I'm still hopelessly romantic
But have grown and realise alot of things!
True love is not movie love
It takes alot for a relationship to work
It takes two people that really wanna be together
It takes more than love
It takes compromise , commitment and hard work too
And yes! There will be alot of flaws and bumps on the way .....
So you better be ready
Indeed real life is not soap opera
