Over The Hill And Far Away

"Homeless, that's what I feel when you're not with me. Breathless, I cannot concentrate on anything. But your eyes, your voice, your smile, has taken me a while to figure out."


How far would you go?


I was sitting on the couch the other day watching Gossip Girl and I suddenly had a craving for ice-cream and crushed chocolate! So, being the legal 18 year old that I am, I grabbed my car keys and drove to get some! Needless to say it was only down the road.. I would have travelled probably 20 minutes from my house for ice-cream and chocolate. Which got me thinking. What's something I love enough to go to the ends of the Earth for? And how far would I go, even for something small? 4 years ago, I fell in love. Not like developed a crush, I mean completely head-over-heels in love. Like engrave his name into my school desk kinda love. 


And once you taste chocolate for the first time, there's no turning back! I guess you could say, I fell in love with something much sweeter than chocolate. I do often wonder though, how far I would go. Whether I would really stand up in a restaurant and declare my love, or post it all over a billboard, or write it in the sky, swim in shark infested waters, get a tattoo... Or run till I couldn't run anymore. The lengths of love are hard to measure and often miscalculated. There is a great deal of pressure on the men of this world to buy the flowers, fall to their knees, create poetry and do crazy gestures that capture a girls heart beyond reach. I blame movies. But on a scale of 1 to 6, 946, 121, 252 billion people in this world... I wonder how many would actually go to extreme lengths to find that certain someone... Or to talk to them, or even just for one kiss or a moment to say how they really feel. With the possibility of failing. Love like that only creates a larger population every second.
I wonder how many opportunities I have missed to go to all lengths. Or how many boys have gone to great lengths for me, gone out of their way to even talk to me. For one moment to see me... 
They obviously didn't go to the greatest of lengths, as they never got to me. And for some reason, it's nice not knowing.
Because what is most important. Is that the only one who go to me... is the only boy I would do exactly the same for. So how far would I go? If I ever get far enough away from the boy I love... I'll let ya know. But for now, I just got a message. 


Signing off,
He just messaged me.
