Empirical proof of love – A Beautiful Mind

I watched A Beautiful Mind where the life story of John Nash, the Nobel Prize winner in Economics (1994) unfolds. Not going to give my view of the movie, yet want to share my fevorite scene

The following conversation if between John and Alicia Larde, when he wanted her to explain the love and commitment she had for him. Mind you he is a mathematician. The scene is acted by Russell Crowe (John Nash) and Jennifer Connelly (Alicia Larde)

Alicia: A proof? Verifiable data? Hmm mmm

Okay…

Well... How big is the universe?

John: Infinite

Alicia: How do you know?

John: I know because all the data indicate it

Alicia: But it hasn’t been proven yet?

John: No

Alicia: You haven’t seen it. How do you know for sure?

John: I don’t. I just believe it

Alicia: Mmm..

It’s the same with Love. I guess

Now, the part that you don’t know

Is it if I want to marry you?

................................................

was touched by the scene

One day a friend of mine asked me what was it like to be in love? and i am still searching for the answer...

Sadness

I am sad
Not because you left me
Nor you are not there to make me feel all right
I am sad
For the love I had fir you
For the love that you never had for me
You never needed me like the way I did
All you did was, played your part in a theater
Yes, this is a selfish poem for you
For you left me oh so selfish

Falling (when you left me)

How can I hate you
When I am falling in love with you
You wanted what was mine and all I wanted was you
I dreamt about you I thought about you
And now you are not here with me.
It hurt so much because, Now....
I am falling in love with you

When you are not around..

Do you know that I talk so much when you are not around
I tell everything to you,
My happiness
My sadness
My heartfelt and heart not felt feeling,
How my day has being and how it should have being
I tell them to you and I see how you smile at me
How you advice me and make me feel all right.

But when I am with you,
I am not what I am in my mind
My whole day is not important any more
All I want to do is stay like this forever
Forever with you and feel your warmth
I do not want to share my day with you
But my overwhelming love with you.
