LOVE AND AFFECTION

Is it too much to ask for honesty?
Is it too much to ask for you to be up front and not tell me lies?
Is it too much to ask for you to tell me how you really feel rather than tell me what I want to hear?
Is it too much to want a simple good morning or good night text?
Is it too much to want a simple how are you text?
Is it too much to want you to want me as much as I want you?

Is it weird that I wanna share adventures with that someone special?
Is it weird that I wanna bachata the night away and lay on the beach until the sun comes up over the horizon?

How is it that everyone judges eachother for the apps that they have for dating?

How does one move on if their heart is still in someone else's hands?

How is it that everyone claims they want a relationship until someone right comes up and they run away?

How is it that everyone thinks up these cheesy dates but the moment someone does it for them they run away?

How is it that we all have that one person we always run back to and scared to admit we love them still?

How is it that we watch all these romantic movies wishing for that special moment that we run into someone as good as Ryan Gosling in the Notebook or Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain or Antonio Banderas in Philadelphia when we know its not the reality we live in today?




I can jam out to Drake all day and drink like theres a message in the bottom of my wine bottle but nothing but the sorrows and hopeless aspirations of a failing relationship or crumbling situation lay there.

I can listen to the Bodyguard soundtrack and hope that one day someone runs after me once I get on the plane to tell me they love me and wrap their arms around me and never let me go.

I can listen to Selena's Dreaming of You as I lay in bed at night wishing that someone special would walk into my life and allow me to see the different aspects of life.

I can listen to Miguel and drown in the emotions that overcome my mind, body and soul once I click the play button.

I can lay on the beach all day under the umbrella feeling the cool salty breeze brush my skin as the sun warms the air around me and daydream about floating away and leaving it all behind.

I can drive for hours and not realize how far Ive gone or how much time has passed by, hoping theres something at the end of the road waiting for me to give me a sign about whats next in life.


What is life if there is no love?
What is it that keeps us coming back for more?
What does one do when they finally meet the love of their life?

Why are the holidays so great but sometimes depressing when you see all the happy couples together when its just me and my pillows with a bottle of moscato on the side?
Why give up if we get in a fight?
Why would you walk out when the times get tough?
Why date if you're still not over your ex?
Why are the simplest things in life often the most difficult to overcome?


Why is it that once you have read this post you all probably are wondering why Im looking so hard? Why is it such a bad thing to want something so good?
Why give up?

But most of all, why is it so hard to ask for a little love and affection...
