endlessly
"oh no, my feelings are more important than yours
oh drop dead, i don't care
i won't worry"
razorblade - the strokes
i was listening to this song earlier today, and it made me think...
when people fall in love, it's always with the best intentions, with the "i'll do anything as long as you're happy" mentality. a part of it is because they think that their partner is perfect.
they always seem to be perfect, the one who will complete your miserable soul. well, most people think that way. maybe some narcissistic fuck will think that they're the perfect one, but whatever works for them...
besides, no one will fall in love if they think their partner is not perfect. why would they settle for less? anyway at this point it is unlikely that they'll spot any deficiencies. so yes, perfection.
when faced with this perfection, they feel insignificant. they will give up anything because they are nothing compared with that shining light of pure awesomeness over there.
the good thing here is that their partner probably thinks the same of them, thus the relationship now has 2 of the most perfect people in the world ever. everything will work out at this point of time.
then comes the one fateful moment when they first realise that hey, i guess i fell in love with a human rather than a god/goddess. it could be anything that triggered this reaction, because if you'd realise, everything about them weren't perfect to begin with.
so what do they do now? nothing much actually. just try to paper over the cracks when they get spotted (all the time), while getting more and more frustrated as time goes by.
first they get angry with their partner. why aren't you perfect, dammit! then they get angry with themselves. why was i so blind, dammit!
they start thinking why are they giving in all the time and getting so little in return? why are they always the one giving a damn, why won't their partner consider their feelings? emotional times here.
the sad thing here is that their partner probably thinks the same of them again, thus the relationship now has 2 of the most fucked up people in the world ever. nothing will work out at this point of time.
the final thing that will determine their fate is how long they will allow this to carry on.
