I Call It Love

Someone once said, ~Some may call it ecstasy. Some may call it destiny. Some may call it meant to be. But I like to call it you and me.~ If you think about it, when it comes to potential and.or significant relationships there can be so many different descriptions from so many different people that you have no idea what to call something that is at times undefinable. For it has so many names that it's hard to believe or take seriously for that matter the sometimes corny, as well as, stupid cliche descriptions that you either say awww or laugh your butt off because of how utterly ridiculous it sounds. It's a tough situation indeed for any person to try to be optimistic and yet find yourself on the receiving end of heartbreak.

Without a doubt, you truly want to have that optimistic attitude within your heart that believes there is someone out there who can make every cliche such as it was simply magic become a reality. Yet, there is the cynical and pessimistic side of you, which goes with logic and reasoning, that initially thinks it's all merely fabricated statements to give people a false sense of hope. It's oftentimes sad to hear that a relationship is broken apart because supposedly the magic was gone and it's that same exact magic which brought those two people together in the first place. In any case, whether that magic was real or simply an illusion, it's all in how you look at it from the perspective of either your heart or your mind's eye.

Let me ask you this question, have you ever had an instant connection with someone you just met? In other words, being drawn to someone that you just get a vibe from, which may or may not be emotional, physical, and/or spiritual. Most definitely we've all heard the term chemistry when it pertains to two people falling for each other who have that magnetic connection. A connection where two people get along so perfectly that they both think alike to the point they finish each other's sentences. Essentially, it's that same chemistry that has certain relationships still going strong while unfortunately other relationships have had that chemistry either blow up in their faces or it was never there to begin with.

It would probably be safe to say that we've all acted foolish around someone who we're interested in, which would be best described as the one of the most common cliches of all and that is being utterly stupid. So why do we act the way we do? Why do we act childish and immature knowing that we're embarrassing, as well as, humiliating ourselves in front of someone who thinks we're out of our mind? Why do we become so absentminded and idiotic that we say things that make no sense whatsoever or do things that just make things completely uncomfortable not only for us but for that person as well. Who knows because the fact of the matter is it's one of things in life and male/female relationships that is simply unexplainable.

In retrospect, every person comes to a point where they have no idea as to what to call their feelings not only within their soul but also within their heart. So many times you can experience something fake that it's hard to know what's real. However, the one thing that you can't fake and will always be real are the butterflies you feel in your stomach, which will never lie to you and will always tell you the truth. If you think about it, as we grow older we tend to forget what it feels like, but when someone special comes along and gives you those butterflies it's a feeling like no other. For the question can be asked, what would you call a real honest and genuine feeling for someone within your heart and soul that you actually feel butterflies? In the end, my answer is simple ...I call it love, which is a song by a former member of the Commodores Lionel Richie.
