Can I fall in love?
I know the news of the divorce of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson is so six months ago (more or less) but what can I do? It’s only now that the hopeless romantic in me, upon watching avid fans’ homemade video of the famous ex-couple, is wishing and hoping that they’d reconcile. A sample could be found here.
Oh geez. For the love of… I admit to having watched and having unconsciously anticipated every single episode of The Newlyweds on MTV; how I would cringe at Jessica’s "blonde dumb" tricks and how I seriously could not believe the similarity between Nick and my second to the last ex who, now I believe, as really no where near him in the gorgeous scale.
In the abovelinked (oh cool, a new word courtesy of the internet), plus another homemade video made by a fan with Nick’s "This I Swear" wedding song (so sue me, I always thought "I Do" was their wedding song) as the accompanying music, if one is at least as nearly as hopeless romantic as me, one could clearly see the reason for this post’s title.
No, I am not one of those giddy types who cried and subsequently cheered for Nick’s "goodbye to singlehood" and his "hello to singlehood, again", respectively. I am not half as gorgeous as Jessica or even half as great as she is in belting notes. But that’s just it. They make falling in love and hooking up look so much good that just by looking at their photos together, I’m darn sure that everyone would end up secretly wishing for a picture-perfect real-life romance of their own.
And then here comes the part when I’d start wishing for a Nick Lachey of my own:
Somebody cute enough to make the both of us look good in pictures (Okay I know this is a wee bit pathetic, but hey, I can dream, can’t I? Plus, I mean, what’s the sense of striving to make yourself look good if your partner wouldn’t sweat it out in making himself look decent and, uh, hehe, "hot", not just for you but for himself, right? Right?)
Somebody stubborn ENOUGH to swear he hates anything romantic but is romantic just the same when you could swear you just saw tears in his eyes when you start reading his love letter/note, whichever length it may be, that he wrote not because he claims he’s not a hopeless romantic but all just because you are the one who’s guilty of wanting all those mushy stuff.
Somebody sweet enough to indulge you in those dirty little tricks when you want to go into the "revenge is sweet" act on him for all those times he was stubborn and he made you cry. (Okay, fine, as inspired by that huge heart Jessica made Nick for their 2nd Valentine’s Day together which the latter wore for their lunch out. Hehe. Link’s here! Goddamn it’s so wickedly funny. Hehe.)
I guess that’s it. A peek at would could surely sweep me off my feet, along with the mandatory God fearing, loyal, respectful, street smart, honest, neat, hardworking and caring.
So, tell me, can I still fall in love? (",)
