Love is an irresistable desire to be irresistably desired.

Robert Frost

The RITMRC show was good.

I wish I had more to write, but it would be stupid and self-deprecating and sad and you would all disregard it as the usual unimportant drivel that I pump out nearly daily.

If you want love so much, what you want probably isn't love.

just something I found. Has nothing to do with the mood. The scrapbook role of LJ again.

But out of curiosity (and assuming I just lied to you [which I didn't]), what would it be that I wanted?

"so much"? maybe. not love? I was thinking about this today.
the only thing I could decide I knew was true was that to be loved is the thing I want when I want nothing else. when I turn out the lights, and am so near sleep I can no longer hurt of anything, I want to be loved. while I sleep, I dream about people and things that love me too. in the morning, after I've come, I roll over in hopes of finding someone there that loves me. when I can remember nothing else - too tired, too pained, or too drunk - I still remember the want to be loved.

is that "so much", I don't know. maybe it's because to be lonely is the worst of all emotions, and so I look for love, in the hope that I will never feel lonely again. that may be. or perhaps it's an arrogant need to have other people think the same things I do; to find the same things true that I do; that I must be right, and how dare other people think differently. I won't assert that I'm above that.

but it is love, so far as I know it, that I want "so much".

I'm probably not the person to be talking to about what is and isn't love, seeing as I think of it as something that happens to other people.

Or how about this one?

Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
Who isn't me
So kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
-Soundgarden, "Burden in My Hand"

Perhaps you might be able to laugh at that...

I believe your quote was actually said by Mark Twain...


"At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet." - Plato

Hey, I just stole it from someone's profile. It does sound more like Twain, no? I should check the famous quotations db.
