I Love You or You Love Me

Can love ever be that simple?

I remember when i was young, i often dream of falling passionately in love with an imaginary man who will ride a white horse wearing that shining armour. Hmm...Ok, forget about the horse and the armour, maybe a sporty motorbike and a simple plain white shirt will do. As long as he loves me to heaven, i will marry him for sure..........

Then as i grow older, i realised, it's not enough just to have some guy who loves you dearly. It's not enough even if he's willing to fly you to the moon or get you that huge red rock from Mars or get the biggest diamond in the world. Not when you don't even love him that little bit.

I began to also understand that having a relationship with some man who doesn't give two hoots about you won't work either. Especially when you happened to love that man madly to the sky, ever ready to start the bungee jumping trend down from New Asia Bar if he ever casually asked you to.(Just an example!)

So, tell me, which is better:

"To marry someone you love to death or to spend the rest of your life with someone you don’t love but who loves you very much?"

For me, i want to marry someone whom i love and one who loves me back. Because only then can i be truly happy.

Tell me, am i too idealistic?
