2003-01-06 - LOVE in every way, defined immeasurably and completely.

A warning sign

I missed the good part then I realized

I started looking and the bubble burst

I started looking for excuses

Come on in

I've got to tell you what a state I'm in

I've got to tell you in my loudest tones

That I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is

I miss you

Yeah the truth is

That I miss you so.

A warning sign

You came back to haunt me and I realized

That you were an island and I passed you by

When you were an island to discover

Come on in

I've got to tell you what a state I'm in

I've got to tell you in my loudest tones

That I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is

I miss you

Yeah the truth is

That I miss you so

And I'm tired

I should not have let you go

So I crawl back into your open arms

Yes I crawl back into your open arms

And I crawl back into your open arms

Yes I crawl back into your open arms

("warning sign" Coldplay)

It's wonderful knowing that even if we aren't "together" by all physical purposes of the word, we love each other and that's all that matters. When we're closer geographically, it'll only get better. And that makes me look forward to the future, gives me hope for each passing day, and I feel a little bigger in this world knowing that at this same moment, someone wants me too.

I've decided that love can be all the Shakespeare-inspired poems about butterflies and roses and pure, never-ending passion and romance.. but generally it's not. Can be, can feel like it, but that's not what true and pure love is. Love is a best friendship, full of compromises and defeat and no guarantee's. Love is crying without shame, wearing mismatching underwear and still feeling sexy; understanding and respecting what one another feels or thinks, whether understood or not. Love is when you know every flaw in your partner, every mistake, every annoying bad habit and still wanting that person around unconditionally. Love is in every sweaty embrace after making love, and in every casual hug.

There. Love defined. I should be paid for this .. heh. Agree or disagree? Like it or hate it? Sign my guestbook and let me know with your thoughts..
