This day

Last year, this day, I just wrote one line, "Too smart to fall in love"
I am still going through my share of make-ups and break-ups but I have learnt one thing through all this and that is, never to stop myself from the pleasure of loving someone.
Days like today, reinforces that thought and I have realised I wouldn't actually mind being the greatest fool for love.

Somebody did ask me, "Don't you like to belong to someone?"
I know I do.

In this spirit, here is a very girlie song from Sixpence None the Richer which I like for the rhythm and the energy.

“Kiss me out of the bearded barley.
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fire flies dance, silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.

Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.”

J is off to Mauritius to moon some honey and I am planning on rock-climbing.

To be loved?
Do you know what it truly means?


You know, people talk about topics life, "What makes life worth living" and "What is the most valuable thing in life" and try to answer that with the word "love".


They use the word too cheaply.


Love is not something that you truly have known unless you have had the ability to give it. To feel loved also involves "loving".


What is it to love?


Can this question be answered? Is is subjective or is there an answer to it that applies to everyone?



Think about this.



. To love is to be able to feel the need for that person beyond that of air in your lungs.
. To love is to be able to make sacrifices to the extent of (not just your own life) every pleasure that you have in your life.
. To love is to feel that the person that you love is to not feel that the person is an extention of you but rather, you are an extention of her.
. To love is to not have to think about her every second of your life but rather, when you DO think of her, to think of her as someone that is so natural to your existence that life without them would be unthinkable.
. To love, is not to take pains to make them feel special but rather, to have them just "know" that their meaning to your life, transcends any person who may be "special" in your life.
. To love, is not to ever have to think about them at all bur rather, to have every thought in your mind acknowledge them as as you would your own existence.



Can you truly say that about anyone? Have you been able to say that about anyone? If not, you cannot have missed being in love. You never were.



To love, is not to die for that person. It is to live so that you can make her life better every day in any way you can.

and here is a song by The Cardigans which I think reflects the mood of the author.

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me

So I cried, and I begged for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

"Don't you like to belong to someone?"

A simple question but in my case i think she has possessed me :-)

unforgiven said...

Sure, I am not sure if I have experienced it completely either.
