Take a Bite of My Heart Tonight

It’s weird to think that people date multiple people (hopefully at different, multiple times) whom they think are their soulmates,

but then eventually marry ONE

(and then maybe later, another, and another…)

simply because, when it comes down to it, they happen to be dating each other at

The Right Time
in
The Right Place.

I think each person has multiple soulmates in the world.

This makes marriage both less important as well as more stressful.

Less important because:

A). Why not date around and experience all these soulmates, because you don’t want to miss out on any?!

And more stressful because:

B). Of course, to get married requires choosing to settle down with one soulmate despite the fact that there are probably more out there.

But it also makes commitment (or marriage)

That much more special because:

You are making a COMMITMENT to someone. Choosing him/her over someone else, knowing there might be someone else as perfect for you as the one you’re choosing. And love is about GIVING as much as GETTING. This isn’t about settling. It’s about choosing to invest in someone.

[And I guess this is why I’m considered one of two least likely people in my group of friends to get married at an early age].

It’s the last goodbye, I swear
I can’t rely on a dime-a-day love that don’t go anywhere
I learned to cry to someone else
I can’t get by on an odds-n-ends love
That don’t ever match up
I heard all you said and I took it to heart
I won’t forget I swear
I have no regrets for the past is behind me,
Tomorrow reminds me just where
