The Love-Hat Relationship // Aaron Belz

I have been thinking about the love-hat relationship.
It is the relationship based on love of one another’s hats.
The problem with the love-hat relationship is that it is superficial.
You don’t necessarily even know the other person.
Also it is too dependent on whether the other person
is even wearing the

I adore this poem. ADORE. *scribbles down to keep forever and ever and ever amen*

I fully agree with the love of someone's persona. As a sexual (albeit entirely monogamous) being, there have been people I am not physically attracted to at all but feel entirely drawn to as far as their personality.

I'm a big fan of, "I don't love you, but I love me when I'm with you."

Sometimes someone becomes your favorite hat, and it's no more true and eternal than how you feel about your actual hat, but that's still passion, even if only on the surface.

Yes, I love me when I'm with you is really what it's all about. Or even I love the us I think that you see, too. Sometimes I feel drawn to people I cant personally stand, maybe out of charisma or because they are likable for other reasons. Relationships are so difficult.

(And yes, this poem is AWESOME.)
