Officially in Love; Officially Undefined Human Mystery
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 13 years.
A strange and new sensation has arrived on this Thursday evening
And made its way into this private and daily narrative
Sounded like a plot twist from a cheesy cable television movie
A generic but realistic obstacle that got knocked away
Within an easy, but compact two hour running time
Okay, 95 minutes with a slew of commercials
Picture was still the same nonetheless
Boy and girl meet unexpectedly and date for a while
They get to know each other and come to terms if it was love
Or something less likely than just a random impulse
A thirst that needed to be quenched; a feeling of not being alone
Once that curtain comes down; reality stripped barer than a Playboy model
Overcoming personal foibles and embracing everything all at once
That's the true power of a reality based relationship
Looking at the facts and accepting everything as they are
Not what Hollywood or greeting cards deemed them to be
Sure, insecurities when you look in the mirror come into play often
One glance in the bathroom mirror can shatter your self confidence
Your butt may be bigger than you'd prefer or your smile a little awkward
Despite everything your partner may say as the opposite
Your other half might feel they belong in a museum, which was not true
You loved that touch of grey in their hair; thought it provided seasoning
And was rather sexy to run your fingers through it whenever necessary
Meeting in the middle should be the cornerstone of any relationship
A cooperative partnership laced with a seesaw that went up and down
Depending on the average circumstances of course
Sometimes they might be the anchor; other times the role was yours
Worked to balance the scales of power in both directions where no side
Was stronger than the other one
Nice to have a survived personal triumphs and individual setbacks
With the support of a person who deserved to be loved
Tired of others predicting the game before the players step out onto the field
Of how and when the bases will be run at the World Series
Whether in Fenway Park or at the local grocery store
When the two most important players don't even know themselves
Commentators in the skybox should focus on the game at hand
And keep their stereotypical opinions to themselves
It's much safer that way; so the game won't be poisoned before it's played.
