You can't help it

I was thinking about the list my girlfriend brought up.  We all have a list if you like it or not.  It may not literally be written but it's also known as preference.  If I asked you what's your preference you would generally give me a list of what you're looking for, correct?  Yes, same difference.  Now that that's clear, I would say that we all know within a few minutes what we are attracted to.  You can't help it, you know what you're attracted to.  So when you finally find someone who fits that list and that person gives you the time of day.  Even if he doesn't give you the time of day, you will find a way to make it happen.  Trust it will happen.  Now that you got that connection, you're going to run with it and it's like "love at first sight".  The passion, the exhilaration, excitement, this whole euphoria just bursts into this fantasy of your partner.  You start doing things you wouldn't fathom to do with a regular dude you been killing time with, but this guy....you can't say no.  Even if everyone else is saying no, he is your man.  Man how do I know the feeling.  Then you start to think it's love.  For me it wasn't the love so much of what couples define love to be but I can say for me it was the love I wanted to give and give and see no faults within him.  You may say I was a fool in love but for the most part my head was still intact.  I can vouch to say that I wouldn't compromise myself to serve him.  So I wasn't that blinded but I can say that he was someone I longed for for a long time and it was just nice to have someone I'm looking for to cross my path.  You can't help it!  What I took from it though is that the experience is something I can never forget and I know the love that I had for him is possible for the next person.  Trust me it's a rare incident to give my love completely but the reward is that much bigger and the risk is that much at stake to find someone where you fit his list as well.  Until then never settle for anything less than what you desire for yourself!  Make that list count!
