It's Complicated

"It's complicated." The minute you hear that from someone you are romantically entangled with - run! Run as far and as fast as you can in the opposite direction of that person. Sure, isn't everything pertaining to love complicated? If it wasn't then it wouldn't be love. It would be fun and games, or titillation, or better yet, uncomplicated sex. Those are amazing when you aren't looking for love or more accurately - haven't found love. But, they don't get much mileage and they aren't ever something we remember long after.

Love, dear friends, fellow bloggers and keepers of everything that drops into the black hole of the universe - is complicated! But when the person you are in love with starts out by telling you that his feelings for you are "complicated", it's the equivalent to him telling you he's found someone else and it's time to move on. I know, I know, there are going to be those of you in the black hole trying to make yourselves heard, but we can't hear you, and you're wrong.

The unspoken complications of love are undeniable, and expected, sometimes even quite welcoming. Those moments when you know it's going to be difficult, but you still hold on because he's worth it. Or, when you argue over the smallest details and walk away promising never to speak to him again because you could never be with a man who thinks like that. Then the phone rings early the next morning and it's him. Your heart pounds as you realize you almost lost him!

Love, that very complicated emotion that changes your outlook and your complexion all in one night can also send you through the fiery halls of the towering inferno. It's complicated when you are the one breaking off the relationship - it's all too simple when you're the one being dumped. He's a rat's ass, and she's a filthy whore who has every kind of std that she will eventually pass on to him causing them both to regret ever doing this to you. Simple.

So, it is complicated. But, only when he starts out the sentence with "it's complicated", not when you are in bed at night thinking about him, wondering how this is ever going to work. Got it now? Good. Maybe it really isn't all that complicated...is it?
