Why You’ll Never Have Me (And Why I’ll Always Want You)

Truth?  I’m attracted to you.  I like you.  We have chemistry, no?  Depends on who you ask, I suppose, but I don’t see why we would need to ask anyone but ourselves.  I guess it depends on how much you are willing to admit to yourself, and whether you are able to pursue the thing you may have the slightest interest in.  And why shouldn’t you?  Life is short.  We are young.  Let’s have sex.  What is the point in living and never loving?  What is the point of never having or wanting or needing?  What is the point in dreaming if those dreams never amount to anything?  If they never force you to take some course of action leading to potential happiness, or inevitable gloom and heartbreak.  Even then, at least you are feeling something, which is far better than nothing

It’s like this.  I am adult enough to know that I move fast and that I get all excited over the idea of love.  I am adult to know that there is love, and then there is lust.  There is the ideal person you have in your head, and then there is reality.  And despite gradually getting to know someone in real life, the fantasy is still there to bounce off of when the person doesn’t turn out to be who you want.  There is still that twinge of hope, which is why you’ll never have me.  You are not what I want.  You cannot please me mentally, emotionally, and intellectually, but I’ll always want you physically and in every fantasy I can conjure.  I’ll always pretend you’re the one I have been waiting for, until I meet someone else who takes my breath away and you become nothing more than a memory I am not sure is even mine to start with.

That’s how it works for us dreamers.

You’re nothing more than a game to me.  You’re someone I can play around with in my head.  You’re someone who can make me smile now and then, but when it comes down to it, you’re not someone deserving of me.  You’re not someone who will ever have me because if you cannot be honest with yourself, pursue someone that catches your interest, or even put any effort into anything, how could we even become a reality?
