True love is something not everyone in the world finds. Sure when you’re young you think you’re in love, and maybe you are. However for some people it’s not their true love. It is just someone they have found to keep them occupied as they get closer and closer to their true love. Some people refer to their true love as their soul mate. According to Greek Mythology: The first humans were created with four arms, legs, and eyes, and two noses and mouths. Afraid of their power, Zeus split them in half, leaving them to find the other half of themselves… these people are called our soul mates. When you find your soul mate you will truly be complete.
Have you ever been in love? The first time you find someone who likes you for who you are you feel like nothing else in the world matters. You think it must be the best thing that could ever happen to you. Maybe you’re the type of person to try your very hardest to make it work. Maybe you’re the type of person who just acts like themselves and says if you don’t like what you see then I guess you aren’t worth being with, or maybe you play it off all cool like you don’t care what others think when really each time you look in the mirror you find something to change about yourself because you just want everything to be perfect.
A Thousand Years
By: Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty I know she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Sometimes love does not work out the way you want it to the first time. You find someone who you accept flaws and all, but they aren’t as accepting as you are so it just doesn’t work out. For some people, you admire someone for so long, and you truly, deeply like them, but they don’t notice you for so long that once they fall for you too you cannot even believe it. True love is hard to find, and for some people it takes longer than others to find it. Don’t worry about finding “the one” if you’re only in high school. You have your whole life ahead of you. Just think of all the people you haven’t met yet.
