Who Gets You?

Sometimes all you need in life is that one person - the one person who gets you better than anyone. Someone who, through silence, war, and honesty will understand you. They get your reasons, they get your troubles, and they just get you. But what happens when you realize this person gets you too late? You're stuck with someone else, someone who's enlightening and bright - but they will never understand you. Sometimes in life, optimism isn't always the answer. Sometimes in life you need the passion, the excitement, the fierce thrill of real love. Sometimes you need it no matter the cost. Whether it be leaving the person you've begun to make a home with or disregarding the rules you grew up with. I think love, this real love, is worth anything. There is nothing more pure than the mutually intense feelings of passionate love. But how far would you go for it? There's always the saying "if it's meant to be it'll work out," so how much should you push for this purity? I used to think that nothing would stop me, but what if after the end of every battle, another war turned the corner? Maybe it's just a personal preference. And maybe some people don't mind settling, but why? Out of the 8 billion people how could not one be your fire? If I wait for the sparks, could you?
