Six Sentence Story — We’re Not on the Same Wavelength

Fandango

We are two very different individuals entangled in the delicate dance of love, but our frequency never quite aligns.

I am the practical one, a pragmatist, an analytical type who revels in precision, logic, and outcomes, with little regard for emotional flourishes and no time for drama.

You are the artist whose heart is a canvas splashed in vibrant hues, who speaks in rhymes, metaphors, and similies, who dances to unheard melodies, and who dreams in poetry.

Our mismatched wavelengths are becoming more apparent every day, with me focusing on the details of the activities of daily living, while you are orchestrating imaginary music in your head and whispering wishes of harmony to the stars at night.

Checking my watch to see what time it’s not, I say that love is merely a chemical reaction, while you, gazing at the star-studded sky, postulate that love is a cosmic collision.

Are our differences irreconcilable or can we find a way to overcome the dissonance, each composing our own melodies to create a beautifully harmonious symphony that defies any practical considerations and permits us both to dance to the rhythms of our hearts?

    I don’t think that anyone can define what love is, even the guy who wrote the book of love.

    Yes, Love cannot be defined in words..It varies from person to person.

    How limiting a No. 2 pencil and sheet of paper, if there is no one to use one as a drumstick (and the other) a hat!

      Thanks, Frank. I think a lot of us do that. I just did. I have a doctor’s appointment at 1 pm today and have to leave for the appointment at 12:30. I just checked my watch to make sure it wasn’t yet 12:30. It’s not.

    You are supposed to be opposite in many things, in complement to one another. The thinker makes sure you have the i’s dotted and t’s crossed in life, and the artist makes sure you have life while doing those mundane chores.

    As the great Christian financial counselor Larry Burkett used to say, “If two people just alike get married, one of you is unnecessary.”
