one situation involved a young man...
he was the ocean
and i was the sand....
I've done some rather serious thinking this weekend. Learned some lessons that weren't all that fun. And still found a way to generally enjoy myself.
I think I'm also starting to understand my own ideas about love. Perhaps their becoming more...tangible to me. I'm definitely not worried about that giddiness I used to get when I was a teenager...even at the time I think I suspected the superficiality of it all.
For me, it's all about that intellectual stimulation -- the conversation. The connection in aptitude, attitude, and general perspective. Not so much of an actual sameness, just a similar background to be able to build on. And of course, the ability to enjoy similar recreational activities.
Right now, I can see how the interest begins. How things progress, a whole 'nother story.
And yet I'm also realizing the effect of being isolated. The 'Wood's got it's advantages....uh.... .... ...it's quiet. The people are pretty nice. Lovely, really. But I have yet to meet a peer in any real sense of the word. And so I seem to exist in bits and pieces. My connection to the outside world through fiberoptics and circuit boards encased in plastic...sufficient for now, but not a satisfying substitute for the real thing.
Don't think I don't enjoy life, though. Cuz i do. It's really a good life -- working, having my own place, generally being able to go where I want, when I want...I've got friends here who are beautiful people...I may be getting more opportunities to learn at work...
so there it is: life's never absolutely one thing, but it's always somethin.
remember when it used to be like this?
it could all be so simple
but you'd rather make it hard
lovin you is like a battle
and we both end up with scars
tell me who i have to be
to gain some reciprocity
see, no one loves you more than me
and no one ever will
is this just a silly game
that forces you to act this way
forces you to scream my name
then pretend that you can't stay
tell me who i have to be
to gain some reciprocity
see, no one loves you more than me
and no one ever will...
i keep letting you back in
how can i explain myself
as painful as this thing has been
i just can't be with no one else
see i know what we've got to do
you let go, and i'll let go too
cuz no one's hurt me more than you
and no one ever will.

peace y'all.
and i was the sand....
