People think that Love is this long-lasting, instantly-happening switch that can be switched on at will. Others believe that love can come and go freely, Love Lost was at least a love right? Some people believe that Love is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, I was once one of those people. Thought True Love came once in your life, and if you were lucky, twice (but only for special circumstances). But know I believe that I can see clearly, without fog or interference from anyone.
(More after the break)
"The best test of Love is time", Spoken like a true lover, my philosophy teacher taught me this. I've been thinking upon the subject at hand, well before I ever started writing. I must say, Love is one of the most complicated process in the world, but it's just that, a process. I like to think Love as a bundt cake. You have the ingredients to start with that's the chemistry between you & your other), you move onto preparation of the ingredients (that's the tension, be it positive or negative). From there, you preheat the over (sit tight, because it's just a lot of waiting from here on out), after the oven is ready, you have to put the cake it, AND THEN LET IT BAKE.
What a lot of people don't want to do is wait, they don't want to put the time into something and risk that they won't like the outcome, but it's a necessary if you want to enjoy it. However, some people like "to have their cake & eat it too". What I take this phrase as is they bake multiple cakes, and while one cooks, they go start - or enjoy -- the other. I have no respect for these men/women, I know that no one agreed to monogamy when he/she starts dating, but you can at least promise one person your all for the time being right? The only exception would be if they straight up told the other how it was, non-exclusive, then it's a special relationship, and baking is not involved (at least cakes).
When the cake is down, you gotta bring that baby out, let it cool a bit
This is where most people stop, they don't want a cool cake, they want something hot, something that they can't resist. They think once their relationship has cooled down, the Love is gone (and I do realize I've been capitalizing love for no apparent reason, I'll stop now) and it's time to move on. But love is NOT gone, it's there, still warm, maybe not hot, but delicious nonetheless.
After the cake has cooled down a bit, flip it and add some delicious frosting with sprinkles, let that baby melt on it -- ooh yeah, you know just how I like it. Isn't this what you've been waiting for? This cake could last you a lifetime if you treat it right, and it'll only get better. Love is the kind of cake that will never get cold if you give it the respect that it deserves (Let it melt in your mouth, c'mon, what are you an animal?). Give it time, you'll learn to crave it, grow desires for it, think about it constantly -- and if you're doing it now? Well I'm sure you'll love it even more once that timer goes off, because the best has yet to come.
I think it's time for me to have my cake now, I put one in the oven once, and when it came out I thought it was a masterpiece. But it gave me a bad after taste, and it was straight up stolen. But the only thing I got out of my last cake was fat, and no one likes that. My time is due, I think that this cake will be great, it's my favorite kind, with little colors of fun inside of the delicious white bread. It's my time to eat, & I'm hungry.
