Oh, What A Rush

Someone once asked, ~Did you ever put your arms out and spin really fast? Well, that's what love is like. It makes our heart race, it turns the world upside down...but if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance...you can't see that you're about to fall.~ When it comes to love, it can throw us, as well as our own heart, in a proverbial tailspin in which you can be literaly or figuratively disoriented to the point where you have no idea what just happened. For its a slow and/or sudden fall that one will or has experienced and you will never see it coming until the very last second, unless you are paying close attention, which nobody rarely ever does; but that is what makes it so exciting.

Let me ask you this question, have you ever seen someone or been that someone who had one's world totally spinning that it actually made your head hurt because a guy/girl who you have known for a while or just met for the first time? It can oftentimes be a comical situation as you either find yourself or a friend totally messed up mentally in the head and the only thin one can do is laugh. Laugh, not in a side splitting, out loud kind of way; but in a frustrated, about to lose one's mind way, which probably every person has gone through a time or two or three. For its simply a part of love or falling in love as a person will never get used to it due in part of a certain high you feel, without the use of illegal substances of course.

For the most part, when we experience the so called high from being spun around by that particular person our instincts initially tell us to close our eyes, which is not a really good thing to do. There are many diffferent reason for not closing your eyes, but the one main reason is that it will give you a chance to focus and focus on that particular someone of interest. In some aspect, that person you are focusing on, in some way, will stabalize you so that you don't lose your concentration. In other words, he or she is that person who hopefully will kep you balanced when things around you are spinning out of control in one's person, professional, and/or family life, which is what every person is looking for and wants in a relationship.

Without a doubt, there have been many strong relationships that ended up broken because the guy, girl, or both didn't catch that person and inevitably the trust, which was there, is now gone. If you think about it, the sometimes dizzying relationship, if there was one to being with, can spin both people so hard that they both have no idea where hey have ended up. Initially, it can be a difficult task indeed to pick yourself back up when the impact of the fall leaves you absolutely numb in your heart and soul. However, it really depends on how hard one falls which determines if a person bounces back immediately or takes several weeks/months years to recover from someone who you thought truly made the world stop spinning on its axis just for you.

In retrospect, each of us have met or will meet that person who makes our heart race faster, slower and sometimes both at the same time. Its that one person when you touch his or her had you somehow know that he or she is the one for you to spend the rest of your days with. Its when you start to feel everything around you just go out of control, being in that person's warm embrace makes everything around stand still or merely seem insignificant. Its that person who somehow knows when a kind word or gesture is needed when you have been going through some trials and tribulations. In the end, when you do finally meet this person, who has metaphorically stopped your world from spinning, and you look into his or her eyes as he or she holds you up so that you won't fall, you will say either in your head or out loud oh, what a rush.

If your heart raced faster and slower at the same time you would in fact be dead, so if you meet the person who kills you then they would be your murderer.
