Sometimes love can be a funny thing, you know?
Oh yeah, its all candy and hearts and rose colored glasses. Just picture this: one day, ol' cupid decides to get up off his fat ass and fire a few well-aimed arrows, slapping two beautiful people together like a homemade peanut-butter and jelly sandwich; the kind your mama might make you for school, all sweet and gooey and equally spread on both sides...
Yum!
You know, real classic Valentines Day style. And yes, they're both perfect for each other, and they both look great together, and they're lives are absolutely wonderful, too... (Did I mention they're also always a man and a woman?) No tragic Beauty and the Beast story here! No surprises, no arguments, no angst...
And that's how true love is, right? Painless, ideal, totally predictable?
WRONG!
Sorry, Charlie, but it just doesn't work that way. That kind of stuff only happens in the movies, and unfortunately, most Hollywood directors just don't live on that little place we like to call Earth. But sometimes...
Sometimes, you can just be walking along, minding your own business...
When BAM!
It hits you right smack in the face, and for one neolithic moment, when man meets woman, or woman meets man, or whatever...
Everything IS perfect, nothing is real, and no one else matters... Nobody but that sole human being that makes your life worth living.
And suddenly, you realize it!
This is love. I AM in love. OH MY GOD, OH SWEET LORD IN HEAVEN, I ADORE THIS PERSON! I WANT TO BE A PART OF THEIR LIFE!
But other times, something happens. You get in an argument, or he/she gets sick and dies... Maybe they're even cheating on you.
Or maybe, they haven't even opened up to you at all... Maybe they're lost and forlorn, so swamped up in puddle of they're own problems that they can't see you, can't see the light... Maybe they just don't know how to reach it. You want to cry out to them, wake them up. You want to yell, "I LOVE YOU!" loud enough for them to hear...
And sometimes, even more rarely, the hopeless romantic dares to face the darkness, give reproof to the impossible, and pull his lover out.
This is such a story.
So, tell me if the lovers are losers. We've added the tuna and bannanas to THIS sandwich. Tell me if love is blind, if their is no return to the light, and if two people can't beat the odds and win... Even learn to love again.
Because, my dear, nobody knows this better than that our Nightcrawler...
The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways!
