I know most young girls dream of how falling in love would be like, of being smitten by a significant other. From the moment she starts watching the likes of Cinderella, beauty and the beast, snow white etc her dreams and fantasies begin. She starts thinking about how one day a young man will come along and whisk her off her feet and they would get married, have kids and live happily ever after in a very big palace with servants and maids. Well, I still have this dream although not the same as the Cinderella story but very similar to it but one with the perspective of someone from the 21st century.
I still remember my first kiss in the summer of 2004. I was about 15 years old and how I felt afterwards. When I got home that day I couldn’t eat and thoughts of the kiss kept flashing through my mind and as time went by my favorite song was 'could I have this kiss forever by Enrique Iglesias'…Oh! I loved that song. At that point in time I was in love or so I thought. Well, things didn’t work out between me and the guy due to one reason or the other and I moved on with my life. I have been in other relationships ever since then but honestly, I have never been in love…. Yes you read it correctly; I have never been in love. I have liked them in their own separate way but I can’t equate the feeling to love.
Quite frankly I don’t have a long list of how I want my dream guy to look like and all but believe me I have fantasies. I don’t want a perfect man because I am not perfect too. Is it wrong to have these fantasies? To dream of one who understands you, who in his eyes you see yourself, your significant other, one who helps you define love.... I still remember the look on Cinderella's face and I want that too, the look on snow white's face when she met her prince but in my own case I am looking for prince of my heart (smiles). I know happily ever afters don’t exist but do you know what it feels like to be in love? Even if the feeling is for a moment it lasts a life time my dear but then again, how do you know the feeling? How do you distinguish like from love? Well I am yet to experience it and hopefully I would know the difference.
Yes I know that this would seem a little puerile and you must be thinking to yourself 'what the hell is she thinking?' life isn’t a fairytale. Well people dream and they come true. I bet Obama would have dreamt of becoming a president at one point or the other in his life, dreamt of what it would feel like living in the white house and all and look! He is now the president of America living his dreams. They were yesterday's fantasies, yesterday's fairytale my dear.
I am still waiting to fall in love some day. I don’t know when thou. Waiting to have the feeling my favorite cartoon characters as a child felt when they met their princes (should I add charming...lol). I wish myself luck. (This is the sentimental and eccentric side of me that only few people know about so act like you didn’t read anything!!!!!)
