I dislike chase scenes in love movies. I used to think they
were incredibly beautiful, poetic, exciting, and romantic. I imagined having a
love story like that, finding someone who would do anything to chase me down
and confess how much they needed me in their lives. Then I grew up. I realized
that running away is really quite adolescent. If you really truly love someone
you don’t leave them unless you are too weak or too immature to stay. You don’t
leave just because they haven’t said the right words yet or expressed their
love the way that you want them to. You don’t run away just to prove a point.
You are able to suffer for them if necessary. You give without needing anything
in return. And if the situation becomes toxic, and you do find you must
eliminate them from your life, no amount of chasing on their part, nothing they
say or do should make you change your mind. Save the drama for the theater.
