And when I go to rest tonight
I will imagine a thousand scenarios of your beauty
and I will fall in love with what I imagine you to be
I don't even know you
Isn't it dam ner idiotic that we have the ability to imagine, to conjure up love out of thin air. Based on Hyperbole or shear make believe. I know, I'm in the business of doing this. But it seems so... wrong, when put into a practical situation. Some thing really erks me about being able to 'feel falsely'. To love someone who doesn't even exist. Then again, I suppose that's what gives us the ability to have "Agape love". To honestly love humanity as a whole. hmm... or to love a person for the potential of who they can be, rather then who they are at the moment.
I guess imagining is the ability to see beyond what is right before our eyes. Things that are in fact real. Or could be, lol if you ...*roles eyes* would only believe in them. smh that annoys me lol. But, I guess it is beautiful. I guess it just bothers me how easily we can be deceived.. or even deceive ourselves.
Whether it be with our significant other, or God himself.
[edit] Got an interesting thought? You can be sure Muse made a song about it, lol

Love can be used to deceive or as an excuse to do bad things... it also one of the most selfish emotions (Japanese study I read in HS over 20 years ago).
Yet without unconditional love, we are not human. Love is what will keep us eternal.

A catch 22, is it? I don't think love is selfish though. Selfishness stems from a lack of love, right? If you really love someone you want them to be happy, even if its not the best for you.
