In A Hearbeat

Crystal Rose once said, ~Love is a magical dream, existing forever in our minds.~ Without a doubt, love can be considered magical due to the fact that even though you don't know how it works, you just somehow know when meeting someone either for the first time or the second time around. The magic within something so simple and yet so complicated makes you want to truly experience with someone who has that so called magical energy surrounding him or her. An energy that can oftentimes be felt in a vibe, a look, a conversation, and/or a touch such as with a handshake or a kiss. Its that unexplainable energy you feel that can't be described with only words and you either go with it or deny it.

Let me ask you this question, is there anybody in your life that is sending/giving you that so called magical energy that you have felt before but its somehow feels different? However, due to pasts relationships you don't want to accept the feeling for the simple reason of not wanting to get your expectations high and your heart broken all over again. In any case, that magical energy can be revealed in the body language one knowingly or unknowingly shows/reveals to a potential relationship in the making. Body language such as the turn away/look back glance, way you smile, and the lean in while talking to that person are signals you quietly give off to someone but absolutely speaks volumes to others who see it clear as day.

Unfortunately, there are certain people who believe love is nothing more than a word that has absolutely no feeling or meaning behind it. In other words, a myth/illusion that was created in order to make men and women feel better so that you could hold on to that one tangible called hope. They further argue that love is not a feeling or an emotion but rather a decision he or she makes and companies such as hallmark are pulling on our so called heart strings to make the decisions for us. For its our own self esteem that tends to play a key factor as "experts" say that because love is about makes everybody happy, then love should you happy and in turn your self esteem grows. For the question can be asked, do you actually believe this?

When it comes to the magic of love, there comes a point where there is an inner struggle to keep your heart closed and to let it go freely. A struggle in which a sometimes difficult decision to either do what is easy and what is right for your own well being. Undeniably, its would be quite easy to just completely shut off the feelings you have for a person who potentially may be "the one" who will make you happy for a lifetime because, in your own mind, its better to not fall in love than to have your heart broken again. However, on the other side of that coin, you have to do what is right for your heart in order for it to heal and its just a matter of letting the right person who your heart genuinely and truly feels a gradual magical connection with.

In retrospect, every person wants love to be a magical story book dream that never ends to where we always have a happy ending. Yet, that isn't how love works and you simply have to learn the hard way rather than the easy way, which some, most or all or you have. Eventually, the nightmares of past relationships will fade as you meet that special someone who is truly worth dreaming about. Ultimately, the happiness and/or love you seek started as a lingering dream which has or will become a reality for you. In the end, the one place where that dream guy/girl is truly real is not found in one's eyes, not in a touch such as handshake or kiss, not in a smile, but found in a heartbeat and when you feel it, it honestly beats with love for you.
