girl: I love you.
boy: I love you, too.
girl: Prove it. Scream it to the world.
boy: (whispers in her ear) I love you.
girl: Why'd you whisper it to me?
boy: Because you are my world.
This was the first post on my Facebook wall this morning.... and it just melted my heart... yeah, it's pretty sappy... and almost unbelievable, I mean what boy is so sensitive? LOL... I'm kidding, of course, I do actually know some pretty sensitive guys... beginning with my daddy.. sometimes you just want to vomit when you hear him talking to my Ma.. "Chinita...pajaritos volando para ti", he'll say... my brothers, on the other hand, are outwardly kind of harsh and almost sarcastic when they say, "Sweetie...." or "Hunny...." but they do love ... and do say it every once in awhile.. my sisters, on the other hand, say "I love you" in almost every paragraph they speak... I guess girls are just like that...
Anyway, what I think I loved so much about the little conversation, between the girl and the boy, is the tenderness of it... and the melancholy that came over me... I like melancholy by the way... I like to feel that deep sadness, but it doesn't last long at all for me.. it's usually just momentary... that feeling is what helps me see how blessed I am really ... I agree... a little strange... but this was my momentary melancholic thought, "I'm not anyone's "world" like that"... and as I reflect on it, I don't think I've ever been really... hmmm? .... I wonder, too... is anyone really anyone's "world" ? ...
Conclusion to my reflection: ABSOLUTELY... we are all in one another's "world" in one way or another.. simply because we have so many world's.. the romantic world, the family world, the work world, the school world, the social world, the church or temple world, etc... not everyone is in all of our worlds, but all our "worlds" make up one big glorious world...
When we were growing up, we were not an "I love you" people.. at least, my family and friends weren't..our actions expressed love.. we lived happily and easy and carefree... as adults, when we sit around reminiscing, the love reflects in the way the stories are told.. and when someone says, "wow, I have always loved you" .. you know it's true.. of course, sometimes "I love you" is thrown around by some people and you think, "oh, no you don't" lol... but then again, maybe they do in their own way...
I do love... sooooo many people ..and if I say "I love you", you can be certain that I do.. sure, for those who are not used to it, they may find it strange that I display affection so openly... but most people warm up to it and give into the love.. there are, also, those "love" friends.. the ones you grow up with like brothers and sisters or cousins.. the ones you now always say and text and email and write on their Facebook walls.. "I love you"...but when love changes, you aren't so sure if you should say it anymore.. I've been on both sides of that situation.. AWKWARD... if you're the one who has crossed that friendship love line, "anxious" doesn't begin to describe it.. if you're the one on the receiving end of the love confession and you haven't crossed over as well, you feel so horrible because the "friendship" world is almost crushed... that whole, "if you love someone, tell them" can go terribly wrong in the "romantic" world...
Oh Mr. Tangent... why do you do this to me? ... Hello? .. back to the "world" .. every time I read something that touches my heart this way, I try it on Giorgio (since children usually tell you like it is) ... so, when I woke him this morning, I said, "Wake up my sweet warrior because I love you.. you are my world.." he stirred and stretched and finally spoke... "Mama, you are my world, too" woo hoo! I am someone's world after all...
That is what made me realize that "You are my world" doesn't have to be a statement said only in the romantic sense... although, if you haven't told the person you love those words lately, today might be a good day to whisper it in their ear, wouldn't it?
and yes.. I am wrapping it up.. I'm sure many of you haven't even read this far.. lol...
May you all love so abundantly that all your worlds collide into one huge LOVE WORLD... You are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to the world.. May your afternoon be blessed with all things good,
YOU ARE MY WORLD and I love you!
Elena
