"I'm the Rule, Not the Exception...."

I figured out something last night as I was cleaning up after the wedding.

I watch too many chick-flick, girly love movies- 

and presume thats how real love in my life should be.

It's my own fault. I know that.

I wish for fairy tale endings, and don't see the reality that:  Fairy Tales Don't Come True.

You know what I'm talking about, right? 

In movies, books, songs-

When the guy & girl have been distant for whatever vague reason

not speaking

not seeing eachother

denying the feelings that just sit inside 

like a heavy winter coat on a hanger?

They both go on with life, assuming

that the other person has forgotten them,

removed them from their daily thoughts,

and pursued the next desirable thing in life. 

Heck, one of them might even be angry with the other...

But in the end...

In that fairy tale end...

The stronger person always comes back for the other.

Its like in the movies, when the girl is leaving work, a party, whatever...

and she sees him standing there.

And it's the last thing in the world she expected.

But it's the moment she dreamed of for months. 

But there he is, waiting for her, telling her without words

that he missed her and just wanted to

see

her 

again. 

With one look, they both know that they want to be together 

that in a crazy, unstable, indescrible way that makes absolutely no sense,

they are in love. 

And that is what i find myself wishing for. 

Stupid, right?

Because that only happens in the movies.

Because fairy tale endings don't exist.

Because I'm the Rule, Not the Exception...
