THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS

THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS

I have to start this creative piece, by being honest with all you my dear ladies. Many of us always claim that we desire Prince Charming to be the man of our dreams, when we darn well know that the Dark Knight is whom we mostly admire, and want to be with. The truth is that the Dark Knight can play us like a fiddle, and we will still gift him a mix tape of our favorite love songs. Come on ladies, you know that I am right. Prince Charming is safe and boring. Moreover, he is intentional, and loves you dearly, yet you cannot help yourself but crave for that non-committal player. Many times, you wish you would just infuse that rude boy's personality into the mind of your Prince Charming, just so that you can enjoy the best of both worlds. However, unfortunately for you, the choice is always of one, because you cannot have your cake and eat it, for Prince Charming has a good head on his shoulder, and therefore refuses to be juggled, or play the part of a substitute lover.

So, why then does Prince Charming have to be so terribly rigid? Why would he not just break character for once, and live a little? Yes, he is very respectful and stable, which is what you mostly admire about him. Nonetheless, he is so stiff such that if he became any stiffer, he would snap like a twig. Moreover, Prince Charming is your safety net, of which you cannot afford to lose, and therefore you must make it work with him, for the long-term benefits. You know that he is a man of law and order, and every step he takes or every move he makes, has to follow divine guidance. What's more, should you for a moment let him slip or slide from under you, you will find out that in no time, some Sunny Sue did snatch your Prince from under your nose. Nevertheless, the walk down the aisle with Prince Charming seems like a punishment, for when will you ever get the chance to play and live life, with Captain Stiff by your side?

Furthermore, when you think of longevity with Prince Charming, you feel a little cold, and cannot help but fantasize about your other option. At least the Dark Knight radiates fire, even though you are somewhat afraid of it burning you to ashes. It is obvious that you and your playboy are a complete mismatch, a bad idea, and an unsafe combination. You already know that the Dark Knight would very much like to cast you in the next tragic episode of fatal attraction, where you will the victim of a toxic love affair, and he will be the man that leaves you on red, who will also be on the run from the scene of crime, having backstabbed and betrayed you one too many times.

Yet, you are more willing to forgive him when he calls you out of the blue, three months after you had a mental breakdown, and despite of the red flags waving hard in your face, you will still go running back to his mouse trap, knowing very well that he will never change. Nevertheless, you like the thrill of the chase, and you are addicted to the pain and the drama, which keeps you in a trauma, worsened by the lies he feeds you. Further, you are obsessed with his pathological nature, and just when you think you can survive another emotional rollercoaster, you end up in that sunken place, but only this time, you drown from this crazy love affair. Deep within your heart, you hate the Dark Knight with the same intensity of love you have for him, and on goes, the sickening love-hate dynamic you both are chained to.

Nonetheless, when you are at depths of sorrow, crying over a man who has depleted you, and who does not care to love you the way you deserve, it is Prince Charming you always run back to for healing. It is the prince who is normally left in your corner, to mend the pieces of your broken heart. You know well that how you treat him is unfair, yet you always run to him, like Olive Oyl always does to Popeye, not only for his healing energy, but to also keep you safe from that barbaric Bluto. Yes, Prince Charming is the hero in your story, but he is dull and boring to you, and that fact does not seem to change, no matter how hard you wish upon a star, in order to change his personality, because you hold no such power. At this point, so many of those sad love songs come to mind, that make me wonder if this crazy love is a worldwide phenomenon.

Riddle me this my dear, exactly what do you see in that Dark Knight anyway? What is it about him that has had you stuck on stupid? Why would you want to risk your golden crown for a bad romance? Why would you want to jeopardize a lifetime of happiness, for fleeting moments of barbaric pleasure? Come on Princess, is this bad boy worth you risking your happily ever after? You know that I am asking you all the right questions, yet I am not sure whether or not you are hard of hearing, with your logic being stuck in the mud, while your emotions are hard bent on running wild.

To tell you the truth, it will take for you to loose Prince Charming for good, in order for you to come to your senses. After all, experience is the best teacher. To you, I am merely barking but when the universe finally steps in to take away your excellent opportunity, that is when you will wish to turn back the time, yet you already know that you can never bank upon wishes. Further, no amount of crying, chasing, and begging will let you out of that rut this time, once the door to Prince Charming's heart is completely shut for good. After all, you had excessively many chances to love him right but you did not, therefore, you snooze, you lose, dear sister.

Eventually, when you lose Prince Charming, due to immaturity on your part, I am afraid that the pain you will experience will be far worse compared to the pain that the Dark Knight put you through. As a result, your pain will turn into resentment, and then transform into sheer hatred, especially for the Dark Knight. However, this time round, you will finally see your wanderlust for who is really is, a bad omen, yet the damage will have already been done, and you, my dear princess, will have no one to blame but yourself.

Consider this, that when God finally lifts off your karma, after all your debts are paid in full, and all your hard knock life lessons are successfully learnt, He will perhaps send a King your way, the man of your dreams, as part of His redemption plan for your love life. Only this time, I am certain that you, my dear sister, will cherish the King better, and swear to never make the painful mistakes of the past, because you have finally grown to maturity, and gloriously transformed into a Queen.
