Unattainable Romance by ~Avadraste:iconAvadraste:





Why can we not live in a novel?
To experience the wild romances of youth,
have our hearts race as they do upon a page
expressed so vividly by intense diction and soul.
Seeing characters reveal their inner most secrets to
us the readers, showing the passion we long for.
There is nothing more delightful to watch than the
development of love, to see it grow and bloom.
Oh, why can we not live in a novel?
To be that character blooming in joy
unknowing of what is to come.
To witness in such delicate phrases
the true happiness that makes life worth living,
a new light.
To be that glow, to feel that warmth.
With anticipation we turn the page.
If only life were a novel.

Post Pact III

Inspired by a letter a friend of mine wrote to me where she expressed her longing to live a romance that only seems to exsist in the novels she reads...she yearns for her Mr. Darcy.

I really love the last two lines the most... its quite clever how you can summarize the entire poem with those two lines and give closure with a sting of disappointment.

But I believe perhaps we all DO live in novels and like any character in a novel we are constantly making choices that affect the outcome of our stories. Our lives can in fact be novel worthy- if we want them to be. It all just depends on the choices a person is willing to make.

And as for your friend, hand her a copy of Gone with the Wind and introduce her to Mr. Butler. ;)
