Everytime

Someone once said, ~Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? Why we cry? When we imagine? When we kiss? This is because the most beautiful thing in the world is unseen.~ If you think about it, that previous statement is true indeed because its oftentimes better to have one's eyes closed because it opens up a whole new world that a person has never been able to fathom. In some aspect, a blind person can see and hear things better than a sighted person could possibly ever comprehend. Though we all can see, we're actually blind and can't see what's in front of our face till its too late. Essentially, there are ceratain areas of life that closing our eyes intially helps us get a better understanding of who or what is placed in front of us.

For the most part, music is a part of every person's life that one can never escape from. On a seemingly regular basis we watch and/or listen to our favorite artists perform live, on television, or on the radio. Yet, the question can be asked, does closing your eyes when you are listening to him, her, or them sing their songs help? In my own opinion, yes because you get a better vibe, sense, or feel of the song by that particular person or persons. Without question that's how love is as you try to feel, not see, the the beat of the music coming from that one special person. Its what a person doesn't see that makes a song special and if two people can connect on a deeper level with that song, then they've absoluely just made beautiful music together.

Without a doubt, trying to figure out the feelings you have for someone can be oftentimes be solved by simply closing your eyes and imagining your life without that person in it. For it can be considered the best problem solver when one is in a situation where he or she is torn between two people that has his or her in a proverbial tug-of-war. Its within one's own drama filled world that its nice to know that you have friends and/or family members that will help you decide one's dilemma of love by weighing the pros and cons of that particular person. Whether or not, an actual decision is made concerning with who one's heat lies with at that exact moment; it at least helps free you from distractions that may be hindering your decision process.

However, when it comes to love or falling in love, a person doesn't want to close his or eyes for the simple reason that if one opens them up that person will be gone. We've all been at a particular place in life where you meet a someone, who is or was everything you always wanted in significant other. One hopes its not an elaborate illusion set up by life itself to mess with you, which can be viewed as cruel and inhumane torture. Yet, you still want to be assured you aren't dreaming and a simple request such as being pinched will squash one's worries. For its one's so called dream come true that keeps that person's eyes wide open and no matter how badly he or she wants to blink, one doesn't want to miss the experiences that one will enjoy to the fullest.

In retrospect, when it comes to love, a person can have his or her eyes opened and closed so many times that it swells shut. For it can be a frustrating situation indeed for any person to try to see who is standing in front of him or her only to have one's vision impaired. In a way, its like something has been covering one's eyes and you can't remove them no matter how hard you try. Yet, we have some idea who is standing there even though we can't see him or her. In the end, everytime you close your eyes who do you see that brings a smile to your face to the point where you think he or she can truly open your eyes for good and a song that somewhat reflects this is by Babyface feat Mariah Carey and Kenny G.
