“Think of love as a state of grace not the means to anything but the alpha and omega. An end to itself.” –From ‘Love in the Time of Cholera”
I’m becoming lovesick. Really. And for no one in particular. And since there are only a few people who listen to my bullcrap (about this) without calling me a despot, it’s finding its way into my blog. Some people are nice enough to say it’s natural, so here it is, shamelessly, a list I started when I was telling a friend I need wake-up calls. (Please let’s not argue about how someone else can also give me a wake-up call)
I want a guy (not just any guy hai feri) to give me wake-up calls
To pick me up
To find time to walk with me ALL OVER the city,
Go with me to parties
And dance till we drop
And eventually live with me,
Make me breakfast and eat, with love, the breakfast I made him.
*The above is just a very short list. I can come up with more.
Shristi says “solitude is the profoundest fact of human state, so it’s stupid to dream of dancing till I drop”. Thomas quotes a serial he watched “sometimes, perfection can be different than you imagined” re. The difference between a hopeless romantic and a not-hopeless-romantic. Fortunately/ unfortunately I’m in the first category. Arrrrgggh!
Unfortunately and paradoxically no comments… at least you’re romantic and have desires… I feel so old and I think nice romantic stuff won’t happen to me… my favorite song for now:
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away
I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions, I recall
I really don’t know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living every day
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

“…you ask me if i’ve known lovin’,
what its like to sing songs in the rain,
wel’ll, i’ve seen love come, i’ve seen it shut down,
and i’ve seen it die in pain…”
My state of mind currently.
Good Luck, though.
