The one that could have been...

Life can be full of 'what ifs' cant it. My latest 'what if' is "what if love actually happened like it does in the movies." Man, its just so simple there. They never have to work at love. They just meet and fall in love. They can spend about 2 days with each other and 'know' that they have met the person they want to spend forever with. If that was the case there would be a lot more serial polygamists about. Over the years I've met guys who I've fell 'truly madly deeply' in love with, and then woke up to myself and realised that I was being ridiculous and that I was actually 'truly madly deeply' in love with someone else. Sound familiar? I've just finished watching a film with such a story. Its called 'Chasing Liberty' and would be a really naff film with the same old cheesy storyline (girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, boy eventually (after a few more hours of his life) falls in love with girl, boy turns out to be an arse, girl gets angry and runs off, boy turns out to be nice so girl is kicking herself, boy and girl meet again, boy and girl kiss and after that line ('lets get out of here', 'i might shoot you if you dont kiss me', you know the type!) they spend a blissful eternity (as they lead us to believe because we don't know anything else that happens in the story) kissing) if it weren't for the quite sexy Brit who has such a great sense of humour he really brings down the cheese factor. But they just met and fell in love. So simple. So what if it really happened like that? Would be kind of boring I think. Everything would be guaranteed.
