Love is word,you are the definition

"When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams." Dr Seuss

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.”
Pablo Neruda

I keep on seeing and hearing the word love everywhere.Like some sort of wordy strobe light,love,love,love,love,love....off and on,off and on,off and on.

Love ya....I love it,I love you...Je t'aime...,it just gets confusing bc I don't always think that people really mean it when they say it. Maybe it's one of those word tics.

I don't love everyone. I actually love a very small percentage of the earth's population.

I am empathetic,compassionate,enthralled,interested,amazed,seduced,impressed,

soothed,moved.....by so very many people,but love,no.

I am part of all that goes on around me,I feel connected in some ways to it all,I think love isn't the right word to describe it.

I'm feeling peeved today,sensitive...the subtle so obvious.

Spam in my mailbox saying how I am sure to love this book,perfume.......fill in the blank.

Really,you think I will love this perfume,how the heck do you know....who gave you my e-mail address...where do you live,so we can sit down together and get to really know each other...and talk about love.

I used to use the word a lot as a teenager,"I love this music","I love this weed",I love porridge" but then I lost people,and dogs and cats,and nothing,no perfume or weed made me feel that way. I became acutely aware that the way I felt towards things was very different than the way I felt towards people and animals,and that I felt strongly,more passionately towards some people than I did others.

That although I inhabit this earth and it inhabits me,cells upon cells,configuring differently,making me different from a sweet potato,...but one day part of me might become a sweet potato,and each breath breathed by someone else...and how I might have said ~"I love sweet potatoes" or become one,it's not the same way I feel towards my daughter,or my husband who I feel differently about than I do the neighbor,who I feel differently about than a stalk of celery,or perfume.

That maybe the word love means so many things and nothing at the same time...and intentions and feelings minus words are what count.

Your Ex-Lover Is Dead by Stars

I AM 308 in dog years

I THINK my hair looks good in a bun

I KNOW that I feel better when I avoid eating anything cooked

I HAVE a dimple in a real unusual place

I SWISH after I brush

I MATE often

I FEAR less and less...still I don't imagine I'll be cleaning windows on skyscrapers anytime soon.

I MIST up sometimes just before the sun rises and just after it sets,beauty that pokes my soul

I HEAR music everywhere

I AM so many things

I SEARCH FOR stuff that reminds me of me

I WONDER about neutrinos

I REGRET at this moment...nothing

I LOVE them

I BELIEVE IN me

I SING a lot

I LOSE a piece of me every time I flush the toilet

I ALWAYS kiss them when they sleep

I AM SCARED at times

I AM HAPPY is not something I go around saying
