While i was working on my pc, someone came up from behind and thrust a magazine one inch from my eye for me to look at something. Obviously i had to hold it, take it away from my face at a readable distance so i could see what that person wanted me to see. Holding someone too close to yourself is something like that. We hold them so close that we're unable to 'see' clearly. I have a theory about being in love. That when you fall in love, its not so much the person you fall in love with but with the way he/she makes you feel...you fall in love with the feeling of being in love.Only when you distance yourself a little from him, look at him as a whole, as a person (rather than a 'thing' that belongs to you) you begin to know him and eventually you either fall in or out of love.
Liv Ullmann says "Love is like two trees growing side by side". But its difficult not to be a creeper and to be a tree. We entangle ourselves so much in the other person that we begin to think that our identities are the same..that we are 'one'. All this, in the intial phases. As time passes by we 'discover' the other person, we start knowing what it is like for him to be him. Thats the point when you either break an illusion and get shattered by it or smile that your dream is now a reality...you are YOU who is in love with HIM.
