1 + 1 + 1 = 2 Right? - Why We Fall In Love

1 Log 15/12

You probably know better than anyone that I've always been jealous of Tai. He's always been able to be so brave no matter the situation. There isn't a time that I can think of when Tai has been really afraid for himself, maybe Sora, Kari, Oagumon, even me, but never have I seen him scared for his own life.

When I first met Tai, to me he was everything that I wanted to be and more. He was everything I strive to be. He was the brave leader who everyone followed without questioning. He was a friend to all of us, even a second brother to TK. That's what pushed me over the edge, I felt that he was a better brother to TK than I could ever be. Yeah, I know. I had a really freaky interpretation of things back when I was younger.

I never ever thought that I would come close to everything he has. I thought it was beyond me, just a dream. He had the perfect family, the perfect girlfriend, just the perfect life. Then his perfect girlfriend fell for someone else. His perfect girlfriend fell in love with me.

Sora's pretty, smart, athletic, kind. Like I said, she's the perfect girlfriend. So what do you do when your best friends girlfriend falls in love with you? I wish I could answer that question. She told him that she was in love with me.

I was on cloud nine. She was in love with me. I bet Tai. Then I found out the bad part. Not only does she love me; she's also in love with Tai.

Is it suppose to hurt this much? I mean I found out that she's in love with the two of us, but when I found that out we hadn't gone on a date, we hadn't even kissed, so what does that mean? Does it mean that I'm in love with her? Does it mean that I just screwed up 5 years of friendship? Or did I just plain old screw up?

This would never happen to anyone else. Lucky me. I fell in love with her, she fell in love with me, and she's still in love with Tai. I'm pretty sure that this isn't how love is suppose to work. I always thought love was about finding your other half, you know, becoming whole. So we've got three halves. This is not going to be pretty.

Matt slipped his log back into its hiding place. It was just him and his dad but he hid it anyway.

"Am I really in love with Sora?" Matt asked himself. He sighed knowing he probably wasn't going to like the answer to his question. So he sighed again and tried to write something in his songbook.

Lately he had had a bit of trouble with his writing. It wasn't that he couldn't write anything. He was writing just as much as before, maybe more. The problem was that all he could write were love songs.

He looked at the one he was writing at the moment. 'Why love?' he had called it. He was about half way through it. He got out his guitar and started to play and sing what he had so far.

1.1 "I'm not some one who spends

Their whole lifetime just searching

Searching for some deeper love.

I don't spend long nights gazing

Just wishing

Just dreaming

Looking for some perfect love

I know is not out there

Some where

I'll stick with misery.

Tell me

Why do fools fall in love?

And where do angels dare to tread?

And why do they say that loves like a rainbow?

It falls to the ground

It cannot be found

Why do people fall in love?

I sit every night

By my window just thinking

Just thinking of what lies beyond.

Can anyone hear me?

Don't know if you're listening

Please tell me if I'm right or wrong.

Could it be out there?

Somewhere

Waiting for me?

Is this what we're all living for . . .

Tell me

Why do fools fall in love?

And where do angels dare to tread?

And why do they say that loves like a rainbow?

It falls to the ground

It cannot be found

Why do people fall in love?

I've always believed

That all love was untrue

That one of these days

It would be clear."

This is where he stopped, as he hadn't finished it yet. Then suddenly it hit him and he began to sing and play again.

1.1.1 "That one of these days

It would be clear

Now it's here in my arms

I see it all, so near yet

How it could be

I wish she was kissing me now



Tell me

Why do fools fall in love?

And where do angels dare to tread?

And why do they say that loves like a rainbow?

It falls to the ground

It cannot be found

Why do people fall in love?

I know

Why the fools fall in love

And where the angels dare to tread

I know why they say that loves like a rainbow

Rainbows never end

They just curve and bend

I know why we fall in love

I know why we fall in love . . .

I know why we fall in love . . .

I know why I fell in love"

Matt smiled to himself. He had finished and it was exactly how he felt. That's one of the things he loved about music. He could write a song and it would tell him and everyone else around him how he felt as simply as possible. For the past week he had been feeling really confused about himself and Sora, but a simple song and he knew. He realized now that he had fallen in love.

Then he sighed. He also knew that Tai was in love with her. Tai and Sora had one of those love at first sight deals going on and Tai wasn't gonna give her up without a fight. People say that when you're in love all that mattered to you was the other person's happiness. He hoped that Sora would choose him and he hoped that Tai loved Sora enough to care more about her happiness than his own.

Matt cleared his head and looked over at his bedside clock. 12:15. He decided that he may as well get to sleep, he had school in the morning and for some weird reason Ms. Souko frowns strongly upon sleeping in homeroom. He flicked off his light and slipped into a sleep haunted by images of a certain redhead.
