To me, loving someone means believing in them no matter what, always being there for them, and caring for them unconditionally. When I think of love I imagine my Nana and Pop-Pop. They have been married for 50 years, and always seem to make each other laugh. When I look to the future, and a lasting relationship, I look to have similar qualities as my grandparent’s relationship. I want to always be able to laugh and I want to have mutual respect and understanding. I think love is about being who you are with no judgment.
I do believe in the quest for a soul mate. I admit I believe in chance and love at first sight. I think there is someone out there for everyone, but I also agree that the search for true love can be detrimental to a relationship. If you are always looking for the perfect person, you can end up unhappy.
My favorite song, Time After Time, by Cyndi Lauper talks of a relationship that may sometimes be difficult and distant at sometime, but in the end though the people will always be there for each other no matter what. I think this song shows an important quality of love. I think that in a relationship, your partner should always accept you no matter what, and always be there.
If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
Nick Jonas’s song Who I Am talks about loving someone for who they are. He sings of loving someone so much that nothing is right when they are gone. I think a part of love is accepting someone no matter what. I also think there is that hint of true love, where you want someone to love you so much that they need you.
I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I wanna break all the madness
But it's all I have.
I want someone to love me
For who I am
I think the song Free Fallin’ by Tom Petty talks about a boy who broke a girls heart, but realizes that he really does need her. I think this relates to not knowing if the person you are with is right for you. You never know what you have until it’s gone.
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile
I am a huge fan of The Fray, so naturally I had to include one of their songs. Be Still does not say love in it, but I think the meaning behind it is a loving one. The whole song is about not worrying about the bad things in life because that one person will be there. This song reminds me of the love God has for us, but it also can be related to two people in love. In love, especially in marriage, the two people should always be there for each other, even in the bad times.
When darkness comes upon you
And covers you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name
If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know
LOVESONG by The Cure may be the epitome of a sappy lovesong. The songs whole message is about no matter what, the two lovers will always love each other and the one feels complete when they are together. No matter what, the love will always be there. I think this is important in any long term relationship.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am home again.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am whole again.
