One answer to the question of love.

In a roomsurrounded by the smoke of ganja and the incessant whine of todays contempary music relentlessly being pumped out by the stero three people discuss relationships as normal.
The thing that stands out to me is always the constant need for control people have such a need for in their relationships. Whatever happened to just being?
After a while my quietness caused such a noise in the room that it was unavoidable, my answer to the question of love was required for the conversation to continue to flow along its normal path. We all have had such experiences, when there is a sentence of approval that one must utter. We all know what is meant to be said, what one is expected to say, in regards to reltionships and love. I knew the 'line' I should say. 'put yourself in the driver's seat' or 'let her know that you're the one in the driver's seat' are common phrases heard in these talks. Such an abhorrent phrase, why such a need to control another?
But for some reason this time I felt a need to simply be me,
'Falling in love is always called that, falling in love. It's not that which we always consciously intend to do. It is always considered a 'falling'. I think when I fall in love it shall be with someone with whom there is no driver, nor is anyone being driven. It's just two people in each moment pulsing around the earth. Falling in love with each and every moment with them. And every moment around you is another moment in which you are falling deeper in love with that person. I hope that shall be what love shall be for me.
