hopeless romantic

I just got home from watching Ever After, a beautiful story about love that overcomes. And many questions are circling my mind, causing me to write them out so i can sleep. I wonder if too often we forget love. If we forget the beautiful, wonderful gift that God has gracefully granted us. I know i do. I know i think about all the things I want to do, all the places i want to go, all the people i want to care for, and make plans to tight for any "love" to fit in. It is true that Paul says, in 1 Corinthians, that if any man is able to not be married that he should stay single, but how can we forget that in Genesis God said that Adam wasn't right without Eve. But after eve was created, things were right. Things were complete. He made the perfect, beautiful companion for Adam, and yes she caused him to sin.. thus causing the fall of man.... but i'm sure they were very in love while they did it, haha i know.. poor arguement.. but its all beside the point. Leonardo Divinci in the movie Ever After said If you don't know love, than you don't know life. Have we forgotten the very essence of life, and tried to fill it with good intentions and busy work? I know my heart yearns to beat in time with someone elses'... it may sound a little lame, i even quiver a little writing it, but i am very excited for the day that I find my match, and can live happily ever after.
