Some Say Love...

I think that as we learn and grow older, we learn the many qualities that we may be looking for in a committed relationship. I think every person may look for something different in a dating relationship. For me, I look for someone who makes me happy and would be there even when times are tough. I also seek qualities of someone who would care for me and knows me. I want someone who knows how I am and accepts me with my flaws. I also want someone who can laugh and understand my humor. Lastly, in reference to agape love, someone who is self-less and who I feel the same way about. Although agape love may be difficult to achieve I think it does exist. I also believe that many relationships are illustrated in music by the lyrics. . The first song is by Justin Timberlake, “Mirrors”, speaks about how the other person completes him. The lyrics state, “Aren't you something' to admire, cause your shine is something' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side”. These lyrics exemplify and state how the person is always on the other side waiting and supporting the other. Next, Coldplay’s “Green Eyes” says, “Honey you are a rock Upon which I stand / and I came here to talk / I hope you understand / the green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you / and how could, anybody, deny you / I came here with a load / and it feels so much lighter now I met you / and honey you should know / that I could never go on without you”. These lyrics illustrate the never-ending support and love he has for the other person. Next, “Faithfully” by Journey says, “Ain't always what it's supposed to be / Oh Girl / you stand by me / I'm forever yours / Faithfully” This is implies that no matter what, they will be together forever, standing by one another. Another song, which illustrates love, is “Lover of the Light” by Mumford and Sons. The lyrics, “But I'd be yours if you'd be mine / Stretch out my life and pick the seams out / Take what you like but close my ears and eyes / Or watch me stumble over and over / I had done wrong you built your tower / But call me home and I will build a throne / And wash my eyes out never again / But love the one you hold / And I will be your gold / To have and to hold / A lover of the light” illustrates that he may have made mistakes but they will work things out. This also shows to love the one you are with. Lastly, “Wanted” by Hunter Hayes says, “You know I'd fall apart without you/ I don't know how you do what you do/ 'Cause everything/ that don't make sense about me / Makes sense when I'm with you”. These lyrics illustrate the idea of another completing another. In this connection, this would be seen as a soul mate. . In the article, they state that the quest for a soul mate is almost unattainable. Something the article said that I agree with is that many times people search for a title, just to feel comfortable. I do believe that finding a soul mate is not impossible and can happen. The agape love that would exist among soul mates is possible.
