Something

I'm really into that new song by The Chainsmokers featuring Coldplay called "Something Just Like This".  It's pretty catchy.  I just really dig it!

I mean, I like both bands... So, for the two of them to collaborate is pretty awesome.

But, I just like the lyrics as well... I love the chorus... Just the idea of what the lyrics are saying...

I'm exhausted from the search for love.  I guess what I really want anymore isn't that special someone, I mean yes I want that... But since that's just not happening...

I guess I just want someone that I can miss, and kiss.

You know?  Just, as the lyrics say, someone I can turn to.  You know, someone that when I think about her, I just kind of miss her and want to text her something funny or cute.

I'm not looking for some fairytale bliss at the moment, or maybe anymore...

You know, just someone that I can look forward to seeing each time we plan to spend some time together or we can just go on fun dates.

I guess my thing is, you can't ACTUALLY know someone is "The One" until they are.  You don't know that part until after it's already that part.  When you first start spending time with someone, that's all it really is.  You don't actually realize it's even love until after it is.

When it first starts it's just... You know... It's just that you're spending time together.  You don't even have any idea what is happening and maybe you kiss, and miss one another...

You don't even know if you'll even end up in a relationship... Things are just what they are.

I haven't even had that in forever... SO, I'd be good to just have someone that I spend time with and it's nice and we have fun.  We laugh... We miss one another when we aren't around each other.

Maybe it's not love.  Maybe it's not a relationship.  We just like to kiss and miss one another.

That's all I want at the moment.

So... I really like this song because it kind of just sums up how a lot of us feel.  YES, we'd love to find that forever person, and YES we'd love a super awesome wedding day and happy ever after... But all of that stuff just starts by spending time with someone... And then missing them when you aren't with them.

That's how it all starts.  You can't know it's going to be something real until after it becomes something real.

It just starts with someone you kiss, and then between kisses, you miss them.
