Here we are, starting to explore real relationships with the opposite sex. Though the level of intensity at which each operates varies, the intentions are still the same. Find a connection. Feel loved. Ease the sting of lonesomeness. Walk down the street, & you'll see a multitude of human interactions. Some walk alone, head down & shoulders slumped, while others stride to the beat of their own footstep. In the midst of this "loneliness," or independence, are the people traveling in pairs. Once solo, two bodies become one with the union of a pair of hands. The arm around your shoulder, the sweep behind your back--it's all but a temporary blanket to keep warm from the cold. 99% of the time, the outcome is the same.. They all end. people get let down, hearts break, and each goodbye seems to hit harder then the last. But thats the thing, just as folks go, new lovers come right back in. Keep the door open, if but even for a sliver.. because at the end of the day, it's our job not to get hung up on the notches & recognize the bigger picture. Brief love affairs, romantic rendezvous, entangled trysts; they are all aimed at the same thing-- to get to the top of that love ladder.
& Once you get there, enjoy the last man standing, because lets face it-- we all know what it took to get there.

Walking down the street today. Homeless man: I'm sure you have a beautiful smile. Me: Smiling, barely. Him: That's such a fake smile. Me: Life is fake.
