Love Potion number 9...

I wish I had some. It is hard being in love with someone, or wondering if you are, or thinking that you are, or hoping that you are, but then finding out that person doesn't feel the same. You try to tell yoruself that it isn't a big deal, but yourself cannot be fooled this time. You think about that person, you try to act like things are normal, but you get all fidgety and stupid when they are around. It is not easy to explain. You notice everything when you are in love, the way the hair falls, the way the cheeks dimple, the way the collar bones are so sculpted and perfect. You don't see any imperfections- it is true what the Bible says, "love IS blind". When you really love someone you hurt when they hurt, it makes you sad to know their insecurities because you love them just the way they are. You love their imperfections, it makes you feel better about your own, but to you they are not imperfections, they are what make that person special.

Love is amazing. You will do anything to hear that person laugh, to protect them from pain, you want to give them the world, and if they won't have it, then you want to cry, and be sad, but you still want them to be happy. And so you watch from a distance, smiling, wondering, wishing, living, but knowing that a piece of you is missing, because when your heart was shattered, some pieces could never be put back in place.

So I say this to you Tina Turner- What's love got to do with it? Everything.
