Don't Fall For A Dreamer by suskumayaya(m): 11:00am On Sep 07, 2012 |
IN the archives you would find poems that tell tales about your status in a particular relationship. It is indeed a very long list that examines what you are desiring; sadness, friendship,'I love you and thinking about you' messages. One of such romantic poems that yours truly ran into recently goes thus: "Every moment spent with you is like a beautiful dream come true….. “My favourite place to be is inside of your hugs, where it's warm and loving”. Sounds nice and very romantic indeed. Some, however, would say it is only for dreamers and dreams, like we all know, are usually a temporary thing. Just when you begin to feel and imagine the goodies in store, it vanishes into thin air. So, you try to run after your dream and the more you try, the more elusive it becomes. Almost like chasing shadows and you get exasperated in the process. In your frustration, you may just wish you never had this dream in the first place. What is the point dreaming of something you can never have? What is the point having emotions that are bottled up? What is the point having emotions that you just can't express? When you can't attain this love height, then you have endless dreams. What you need is endless love and then you begin to wish and wish - thoughts that need a vehicle for expression. Love can, therefore, be very colourful if you can express your dreams. Here you need to be understood, you need to communicate properly, and there must be moderation in the things you do or do not do. You must carry your partner along and do not expect them to conform to your 'myopic' idea of love. A pretty gal got the best bargain from the one she loved. Instead of falling in line with this love tango, she chose to be a dreamer. She wanted a perfect Romeo, and instead of enjoying her dreams, she converted it into a nightmare. Here is a story of a dreamer. ....Banke & Tolu..... If you call Banke a daddy's girl, you would certainly not be wrong at all. Her father is her superhero, the man she grew up to love and adore. Well, she was lucky because he was always there for her and the other siblings. A man with a sacrificial heart, always giving and asking for nothing or little in return. Happily, she scrolls back in years, painting picture of some memorable moments shared together and you agree that he was, indeed, a great father. As she takes you through his scale of preference then, you just cannot help but marvel that our friend was blessed with a wonderful father. Luckily, for the old man, everyone appreciated his kind gestures. Today, those efforts have actually yielded good fruits and each time he takes a walk down memory lane he usually sheds tears of joy. Yes, everyone would certainly be proud to have such a man as a dad. Even though this has become a positive reference point in the family, it has also become a minus for our dear Banke. Unfortunately for her, she has become tied to his apron strings in such a way that almost everything she does revolves around her dear father. Her father actually saw it coming and so he took time to caution his beloved daughter to loosen up a bit .Like a bad habit, it was quite difficult to shift at all. Luckily for her, things went smoothly for a while and then one day she met Tolu at a friend's place. From the moment their paths crossed they liked and admired each other. It was indeed a sizzling romance and almost everyone thought it was going to take them to the altar, where they would both take the vows, 'to live happily together forever'. Midway into this love tale, things just began to fall apart. Naturally, we would think that Tolu was playing around or was just being impossible. No, not at all! He was a wonderful beau, a very straight character with a loving heart. Tolu was always ready to give as much as 70 or 80 per cent, just giving and playing his part well. Banke wasn't a bad girl either. She had a loving heart and was dutiful; the snag, of course, was the habit of seeing every man fitting into her father's shoes. Every action was seen from her father's perspective and on a daily basis she compared notes and kept on nagging Tolu and his attitudes, which he acquired overtime, like an' headmistress.' Change certainly is the most constant thing, but then you just can't force the other person to comply. Even if you want a change, it would take some time and conviction on the part of the person. Here, Tolu was indeed a square peg and perfectMiss Banke expected him to fit into her definitions according to daddy's gospel. Each time he tried to impress Banke dearest, he was shocked to find her holding fastidiously to daddy's 'ancient 'ways of doing things. Initially, Tolu thought it was a phase that would ultimately pass away. Unfortunately, it didn't. She got worse and at a stage very irritating, thus taking away the shine from their relationship. He moved from hot to cold and the emotional sparks they used to experience vanished along the line. It was, therefore, obvious that his sweetheart was never going to change. Instead of having to fight emotional battles all the time, poor Tolu just had to let go. He also did not like the idea of fighting with this stubborn lover. “There is no point hanging on, if all we are going to be doing is to look for each other's fault. That would definitely defeat the purpose and make me sad. I can't imagine shouting at her; I won't just like to hurt her at all.” He had come to the realisation that his sweetheart was so in love with 'daddy'. You just can't bend her; she is definitely going to be Daddy's girl forever. |
