Movies have mastered the power of emotion.
Tricky little
The story is always the same though. Girl meets boy. Girl falls for boy. Boy falls for girl. There's an insurmountable conflict. Then....my favorite
the grand gesture.
Whose heart doesn't skip a beat then? Who's heart doesn't sigh a little? It's a beautiful thing.
The grand gesture, the cure all, the final step before happy ever after.
But does it happen in real life? Oh sure, everyone would like to believe it, hope for it even.
Who wouldn't want someone to travel across the country in the middle of the night, or overcome a fear of heights to reach you? Who wouldn't want someone to come to their senses and in a grand moment, while you're holding a cat in a filthy ally way in New York City in the pouring rain, kiss you passionately and tell you all the things you've always longed to hear?
Who wouldn't?
But.
There are those moments, but what you don't realize that it has to end and there are other moments and feelings too. The good moments end but they can happen again. There is always some insurmountable conflict but later in life the conflicts and even the day to day stuff is very unromantic. Fortunately the sweet moments, the grand gesture, can still happen. I fully believe that it is sweeter the next time it comes around too.
