Some songs have such catchy tunes they play over and over in your mind for the rest of the day.

And as the music lingers in your head, you start to pay more attention to the lyrics.

And in taking a closer look at the words, you begin to identify the undercurrent emotions in the message the writer is sending.

And the vibes prompt you to think.

Orianthi's According to You made me think.

Think about human nature. About people. About relationships.

Isn't it just so us to take what we have for granted?

When falling in love, it seems like we only see everything about that person that is beautiful, incredible, irresistible. Whatever the other person says or does is right or can be justified through our rose-colored spectacles. Even the stupidest things they do are "cute." The smallest gesture, a certain look, that dazzling smile..we gush and fall head over heels all over again. We can't seem to get enough of each other, can't finish counting the reasons why we love them so. We wish to spend every moment of the rest of our lives with that loved one.

Time passes.

The things we once thought were "oh-so-cute" are now simply"darn irritating." Losing focus of the things that made us fall in love with that person in the first place, our eyes become quick to pick up on the negative points instead. Suddenly, the person's faults become glaringly obvious while the small acts of tenderness go by unnoticed. Where once we wouldn't dream of not going anywhere together, we now strain against the bonds of love, fighting for our own space. Instead of fully appreciating that person for who he or she is, we take them for granted. And thus the little fissures in a once rock-solid relationship appears.

"It was all going so well... what happened?" We ask ourselves, puzzled.

What happened was that we forgot why we fell in love with that person in the first place.

It wasn't something we did on purpose, not some devious, well thought-through plan. It was simply human nature. What is ours to have, we tend to take for granted.

I wonder, if we were to write down a list of all the things that made us fall head-over-heels for our loved one and reminded ourselves and our beloved of it time and again, would it add to the strength of the relationship? When the light-headed giddiness of a crush has been sobered by time and reality, can we still single out the qualities that first attracted us to that person? And some ten, twenty years down the road, will we look over and once again catch our breath, more deeply in love than ever with that incredible one who stole our hearts from the first moment we embarked down a new path together?

I so very much hope so
