hello from U of I

[meggiswann]

it doesnt interest me what u do for a living.

i want to know what u ache for, and if u dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing

it doesnt interest me how old u are

i want to know if u will risk looking like a fool for love, for dreams, for adventure of being alive

it doesnt interest me what planets are squaring ur moon

i want to know if u have touched the center of ur own sorrow

if you have been opened by lifes betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

i want to know if u can be with joy, mine or ur own

if u can dance with wildness and let ecstasy fill u to the tips of ur fingers and toes

without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human

i want to know if u can be faithful and therefore trustworthy

i want to know if u can see beauty even if its not pretty everyday

i want to know if u can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver moon, Yes!

i want to know what sustains u from the inside, when all else falls away

i want to know if u can be alone with urself

and if u truly like the company u keep in the empty moments...
