"Two Cures For Love"
Wendy Cope

1. Don't see him. Don't phone or write a letter.
2. The easy way: get to know him better.

Ha!! I love this.

My thoughts exactly.

Though I feel a little mean concurring with this so heartily. It's not that getting to know somebody makes you love them less, and it's not that all guys are really terrible once you get to know them or anything. It's just that that consuming infatuation/passion/obsession loses its steam once you really get to know somebody.

Yup.

I didn't make the icon, but I hadn't noticed that before!

Squee! Cope is my favorite poet. Thanks for this.

Am trying #1, but hopefully #2 will happen soon b/c #1? Unsurprisingly ineffective

Right?! Oh dear.
