What stuck out to me was when you said:
I mean, come on, that's why there are rapists: they wanna feel the love. Know wha'I'm sayin'?
A while ago a friend and I were talking about love, and he concluded that everybody does things out of love, or out of the need for love.
I personally feel that everybody craves contact, people want to feel connected to others. They want their souls to be touched.
You can see this at sporting events or rallies, where everyone is yelling together. In such cases, the people are acting as one, they become known as "the crowd." So much has been made of this that there is even a branch of psychology dedicated to it; crowd psychology. Together they feel themselves empowered, not because they are connected to one soul, but many.
If that doesn't strike you, than imagine this. You are walking down a street with a boy who makes you feel giggly, warm, or even comfortable. You feel safe with him. As you stroll along you stumble along a pleasant stillness, far opposite from the awkward silences that so often plagues teenage relationships. During this quiet moment, he reaches for your hand and as he is about to touch your hand, you grab his. A certain electricity surges through both your bodies: you've finally crossed the boundary where only the truly intimate are allowed entrance.
Something I've learned in my short (almost) 19 years of living is to not bother and try to solve the mystery of love. Instead, I just marvel at it. And I'll be glad if it, any of it, happens to come to me.
except some boys are not nice. :(
