LOVE'S
POISON
Is slowness really the enlightenment of relationships?
Every Italian idiot says, “Slow and steady wins the race.” But you want the truth? That’s total nonsense. The slower things go, the quicker the spark dies out.
Let's say two people meet — how long before they kiss? — There are two options.
Either they kiss soon, maybe after a week or ten days passion lights up fast, like fire fed by gasoline, but it can burn out just as quickly.
Or it happens after weeks, maybe three or four, who knows? In that case, it grows little by little until it finally explodes. The curiosity that keeps you waiting and the strange impulse that makes you want it so badly end up feeling like ecstasy — like a drug that fires up your mind until you lose control. You stop thinking straight and start living without any sense of risk.
There’s no better choice, and no real middle ground. It’s all subjective.
Still, people can’t help but judge, filling the heads of the two lovers with useless comparisons — like calling them modern Romeo and Juliet.
Sleeping Beauty is just a fairy tale, but sometimes it comes true.
Does a sleeping man really wake up after a kiss? No.
Someone born tired doesn’t have time to get back up, and someone who wakes up with dark circles won’t get rid of them in one day.
So, do we really need all that energy in a relationship?
Is it better to have an impulsive, passionate spark, or to wait until we feel “rested”?
Time is precious — we shouldn’t waste it.
But love throws you off so much that you lose all sense of time.
So why chase that high?
Do we really need to get addicted to love just to live outside of time?
Or is it enough to find that uncertain balance we’ve been searching for all our lives?
Avec Amour,
