Love is a game

Who would had thought it would take me 28 years to figure out the rules of love and attraction. I’ve always thought that, when it’s right… it’s right. You don’t have to play games, play hard to get or anything, you just know it when it hits you. I guess to a certain extent that’s true but there’s more to it.

Everyone has a history, old scars, issues and what not. Just because I feel that I have cleaned out my closet and don’t have any hang-ups, all though I probably do, only that I just don’t know about them, it doesn’t mean that others are quite there yet.

It’s all a matter of balance. When to much weight is put on one side, the scale tips, and we all know the scale should always be balanced, regardless if we are talking about money, eating, drinking or falling in love. There must always be balance or else everything falls apart. This is the issue I’ve been having with love… not understanding why there is always imbalance when it comes to me. Either I fall for a woman and she doesn’t fall for me, or she falls for me and I don’t fall for her.

I guess my conclusion is… one of these two. Either, writing poetry and proclaiming my love to a woman I’ve just met is over the top and only scares her off. Or I will keep writing my poetry and keep being “over the top” until I meet someone who actually thinks that’s cute, brave and falls for me just because I am over the top and head over heals.
