Catch Me If You Can

I’ve seen this happen everywhere: boy sees girl, boy likes girl, boy pursues girl, girl finally concedes, boy gets bored. It all leads to one simple question: why? Why the chase, why the hoopla? At first, there’s passion, lust, and that ravenous desire to do everything possible (and beyond) to capture the object of your affection’s heart. You know, like the time he did something really unexpectedly sweet… like brought you brownies to cheer you up, because nothing quite hits the spot like 500 calories in all the wrong places. But somewhere down the road it all turns into… sheer blah. Forget brownies, you’ll be lucky to get chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong… I’m not scorned… just a bit jaded. And it just makes me wonder… if all the fun is in the chase, then maybe it’s better to never get caught… because you always want what you don’t have.
