Be Mine

Be Mine. Be. Mine. Two words. Two. Simple. Words. One heavy statement, with only one meaning, but several different implications.

Be Mine. When ended with a period is not a question. "Be Mine?" as a question seems innocent and somewhat shy. It can easily be turned down and/or ignored. "Be Mine." on the other hand is direct and commanding. As a command -- it's not something that can be turned down with a simple "no thanks." It's not being asked; it's being told. But what about "be mineee" (note: there are several extra 'e's and no punctuation)? The extra 'e's indicate an urgent need, a plea, if you will. "I need you to be mine."

Be Mine = Belong to Me.

But what does it mean to belong to someone? Is it different with different people? Is belonging to one person a totally different situation than belonging to someone else? Of course it is. And therein lies the trouble with it.

Belonging to one person may require you to do things and be places that you don't like to do or go. Belonging to someone else may require very little of you. Belonging to person A may be like wearing heavy chains, restricting you from being you. While belonging to person B may be very fulfilling and you find that not only do you belong to that person, but they belong to you as well.

And so, the ultimate question involved here is what do you say when you receive a text late on the night before Valentine's Day?
