Can Anybody Find Me....Somebody To Love? :D

Yeah, I just finished listening to that song, and I love it so, so I figured I'd use it for my title. :D

In light of Valentine's day being this past Monday, and tomorrow is banquet, where a lot of couples will definitely be going together, this college post will be on.....romance. :P I'm sorry, I would normally post this on my other blog, but this topic can pertain to college as well. I know other friends of mine have written some on this subject, but I just feel the need to do it as well. And since I'm listening to a lot of songs lately with this theme, I'm totally gonna use music to help me with this. :D (Hooray for being a music major.)

Ah, romance. It's one of those things that half of the time makes me go overly gushy and girly, but the rest of the time, it makes me sick. I go all girly cause I want romance, true love, but then I get sick of the idea because I don't have it yet. Me and romance have a love-hate relationship (hehe, unintended pun alert).

In songs about romance, I always find that one part that just gets me every time, that makes me just melt at hearing/singing the line. I can give you plenty of examples on that one.

1. We'll stay forever this way. You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on.
2. Down that old road, with the stars up above. He remembers where he was the night he fell in love. He was walking her home.
3. But you've gotta believe me. I'll never leave you. You'll never cry long as I am there. And I will always be there. You will never be without love.
4. Darling, I'll be yours forever cause I never wanna be without love. Darling, never set me free.
5. You alone can make my song take flight. Help me make the music of the night.
6. I will be all that you want, and get myself together, cause you keep me from falling apart.
7. Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
8. I'm so grateful to you. I'd have lived my whole life through lost forever if I never knew you.
9. Come what may, come what may, I will love you until my dying day.
10. So I lay my head back down, and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours. I pray to be only yours. I know now you're my only hope.
11. We're leaving here tonight. There's no need to tell anyone. They'd only hold us down. So by the morning light, we'll be half way to anywhere, where love is more than just your name.
12. All at once, everything looks different now that I see you.
13. An enchanted moment, and it sees me through. It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you.
14. You'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart from this day on, now and forevermore.
15. Tale as old as time, true as it can be. Barely even friends, then somebody bends unexpectedly.

Yeah, you get the idea? I love songs like this!! It makes me hopeful for finding someone, so that I can sing these songs and actually have true meaning behind them. And this is one of the hard things at college: wondering where in the world is that special someone? And because of this, a lot of times, we get so caught up on looking that we don't just sit back and enjoy friendships first. Because that's what's important. The friendship that you make with that person is the foundation that you eventually build your relationship. If that isn't there, you can end up heart broken.

I can't help but love heart break type songs as well. When I'm sad and down about romance, certain lines get to me that could actually make me cry. Like these....

1. These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just to real. There's just too much that time cannot erase.
2. I can't save your life, though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting. I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides.
3. Don't cry to me. If you loved me, you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind.
4. I can't hold on to me. Wonder what's wrong with me?
5. Someone said, "A broken heart would sting at first then make you stronger." You wonder why this pain remains. Were hearts made whole just to break?
6. And will we ever end up together? No I think not. It's never to become, for I am not the one.
7. You need that boy like a bowling ball dropped on your head, which means not at all. You have to much to give to live to waste your time on him.

Songs like these just help me release any sad feelings I have when it comes to romance. When I'm in a mood like that, I'm about ready to become a nun and join a convent because I never think that I could even get a guy. :P Most of my friends call me ridiculous when I say that, but it's just how I feel sometimes. I go back and forth a lot on loving the idea of romance and simply hating that I don't have it.

But, to be honest, I find myself hanging out in the middle somewhere: longing for romance but just sitting around waiting for it, and wondering when it will come. These lines from songs come to mind:

1. I wanna live happily, happily, happily ever after.
2. Can anybody find me somebody to love?
3. No more dating, I'm just waiting. Like sleeping beauty, my prince will come for me. No more dating, I'm just waiting. Cause God is writing my love story.
4. So I know, he'll appear, cause there are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story books I read by candle light. My white knight and his steed will look just like these pictures. It won't be long now, I guarantee. Day number.....8,423.
5. So just because you haven't found your prince yet, doesn't mean you're still not a princess.
6. They don't date, they won't date. They wanna see how they're gonna grow up, how they're gonna be. But in the meantime they might feel unloved, when all the girls around them are hooking up.

I feel like this a lot of times. I'm 19 and I've never dated. And let me tell you what, being in college with a lot of very Godly men doesn't make anything easier on a girl like me. But, just because I want to find romance, it doesn't mean that I want to rush into anything. On the contrary, taking things slowly is great, and this means by making solid friendships with my guy friends. Even though only one in the end will end up the one for me, those friendships that I create while I'm searching, or better yet waiting to be found, will be friendships that I will probably have for life. And in the meantime, I'll just have to be content on having guy friends....and complaining to my epic girl friends about my wishes. :D

.....See what Valentine's Day does to poor, single girls like me?! This is why I prefer to call it Singles Awareness Day. :P And as you can probably see, this is why I hate this subject....I feel way too girly talking about this a lot of the time, which is why there are minimal posts on my other blog. :P So other than random inspiration for my other blog, this will probably be the last time I talk about romance on here for quite a while. :P (I can just hear the applause and appreciation for this as I type this. Lolz.) I guess this is it for this post. I hope that everyone has an amazing weekend. I know I will!! :D

Side note, I hope my guy loves Lord of the Rings like I do. I want to find my Aragorn. ^_^
