"I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed u into life"

Remember those lines from Savage Garden's I Knew I Loved You? The 80s and 90s babies will probably remember that song. Who wouldn't? It was a huge hit back then. Ok, I just googled it. Apparently the song was released late 1999/early 2000. That wasn't too long though it felt like eons ago. I thought it was probably in the 90s maybe? Yea yea, I know I know...I'm really not as old as I always feel to be. Sorry, can't help it. Anyway, back then the internet age was just taking flight. *shrugs* Midflight maybe.

There was alot of the internet relay chats going on. Had my share of meeting up with strangers that I knew thru chatrooms. It was fun, exciting, scary, and each time nervous as hell. It was just weird sometimes, the antics we were up to. There was this one guy who would hide in a corner somewhere and see if the girl is actually hot. If she isn't then he's just not gonna show up. Or the other one who would pretend to be someone else so he could size up the date before he finally reveals his real identity. Kids...*rolls eyes* LOL.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is that in general, we always have a pre-conceived blueprint of the person we wanna be with. Certain qualities that we look for, generate towards. It may be that he's a romantic soul, with the wittiest comments. Or perhaps a good job and a stable income. I mean, whatever floats your boat. And this person in our head, we're constantly searching for to fit right into it. Kinda like an imaginary glass slipper seeking the right Cinderella. And that's the person we "love", at least at first.

I have that blueprint. I met that person. I didn't know why I gravitated towards him til my friend pointed out he's all I've been looking for and then it hit me; she's right! He speaks perfect English, classically trained in the piano, loves music as much as I do(in fact more), comes from a good family, with a gd career, cared enough to meet up with my friends and got along very well, drove all the way to see me though he lives on the other side of town. I mean he was just abt perfect! I fell fast, and I fell hard. Then i found out he lied to me bigtime and there was more than one special girl in his life. That was the major dealbreaker. Like any sane person(you know, there aren't many left) I up and left. Threw him out the window and along with it, part of the blueprint. (Well, there's bound to be some very important aspects of which that one needs to keep hence the part.)

The best laid plans of mice and men, often go awry. So, do I still believe in the existence of that one person? *shrugs* I have no idea. It seems like an awfully romantic fairytale but until that person appear, I'm just gonna be one skeptical person. And he, being the person on that unicycle, is taking waaaaaaaaaaay too long.

Media fast forward to the present. Christina Perri's A Thousand Years kinda gives me the same vibes. I don't know nuts abt Twilight so don't bother explaining to me how Edward loved Bella for years and years hence the thousand years thingy. To me, it means that this person who appears before us, checking off all the boxes we have on our mental checklist, is the one we've loved for a thousand years. I know I may not make sense but if you do get it, hey...we're on the same wavelength! :) 

Someone up there is playing a joke on me. Don't appreciate it one bit.
