The One You Love

Funny, seems like I've been having the urge to blog alot about Love recently.... But that's just the magic of Love. Love was what urged God to created this world from nothing, Love was what Jesus died for on the cross for our sins, and Love was what made the Christians of the past die for the glory of Heaven. Love is Walt Disney, Love is Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, Love is Chopin to Mendelssohn.

One of my favourite love songs is written by singer Glen Frey, and is entitled "The One You Love". It was just a tune that was beautiful, easy to remember with a really sexy saxophone motif that will play over again and again before, during and after the chorus. However, as life went on, I fell in love, and out of love many times. I was even faced with chasing after a lady whom I felt fitted me so wonderfully, or going back to the lady whom I know would be the ideal and perfect wife. The lyrics go like this:

Verse 1:
I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do

Verse 2:
I heard you on the phone, you took his number,
Said you were alone but you'll call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'?
Isn't he the one who made you blue?
When you remember those nights in his arms,
You know you gotta make up your mind

Chorus:
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

Verse 3:
What you gonna say when he comes over?
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointments
Oh girl, what you gonna do?

Bridge:
Your heart keeps sayin',"It's just not fair"
But still you gotta make up your mind

Doesn't love just seem so unfair sometimes? Why can't we have everything? Why does it always seem like people around us are so happy, and ourselves just so unable to be like them?

If you had a choice, would you choose someone whom you love, or someone who loves you? Think about it. Who would you be happier with? Tell me your decision below. I think it'll make for an interesting debate. And please don't tell me that one day I'll meet someone whom I love who'll love me back just as much. No relationship in this world is perfectly balanced.
