love | excerpts



Then
[July 3, 2009]
Remembering a time, back when. Remember when? Remember then.

Love At First Sight
[November 19, 2008]
Love isn't an arrow from Cupid. It's a photo album with pages and pages of memories shared. Love is a look you've seen a million times but want to see a trillion more. Love is a look that says you're home.

Don't Stop Believin'
[December 12, 2007]
The potential to find love was the reason to go on dates in the first place. "She might be the one." There's always a chance, right? Through time and experience, I realized I was wrong. There is no one.

The Look I Never Knew
[February 9, 2007]
Your lows were among the lowest, but, oh, how your highs did soar. Do they still? It's been years...

The Lover And The Beloved
[December 1, 2006]
A piece of her will be in my heart forever, whether either of us likes it or not. There's room in my heart for everyone I've ever truly loved, and I did truly, deeply, love her. Though the heart can be a foolish organ, the brain knows better.

The Lesson In The Lies
[August 11, 2006]
Though it was not her intention, her words were lies. I knew it by the look in her eyes.

I Can Fly
[June 13, 2006]
I can fly, but I crave your wings

To Find Someone You Love
[May 13, 2006]
"Baby steps get on the elevator... baby steps get on the elevator... Ah, I'm on the elevator."

The Leaves
[March 7, 2006]
Though you made my heart quiver, you will make the trees shiver.

You And Me, But Not Us
[February 26, 2006]
You doubted your present due to your past. You were hoping I'd give you a future. But I could only give you love.

The Lonesome Lover
[February 14, 2006]
I'll take a hopeless romantic's Valentines Day alone to the life of hopelessness that would come with having given up on love.

Two Pigeons
[February 13, 2006]
And I knew this is how a love dies.

The New Couple
[December 5, 2005]
Hey lady, where did you come from? And what's in those boxes? Are they filled with furnishings from two homes being blended into one? Hey lady, is he the one?

A Sophomore In Sociology Class
[September 21, 2005]
It was the first Tuesday of my Sophomore year of college. 11:00am. I was sitting in Sociology class. And I... Didn't... Give. A Fuck.

It's A Gas, Gas, Gas
[February 25, 2005]
A-HA! And there you have it: The difference between 'dating' and a relationship - the difference between new love and real love. It's gas.

So Simple, So Perfect
[August 29, 2004]
It begins as a glimmer in the eye, and it builds, burying itself deep in the heart while spreading to the rest of the body. It's a feeling I'm feeling a lot these day, and I'm thrilled to know my friends are feeling it too.

This - Is A Life
[August 25, 2004]
If my apartment were to burn to the ground while I was away, I'd worry about the boys. Beyond that, it's all stuff. Oh sure, I'd curse a lot. But I'm probably going to do that anyway - fire or no fire. It's not that I don't have some great stuff. I do. But, in the end, it's just stuff.

The Ring
[July 26, 2004]
"If I had a ring..." I began, not really having a roadmap for the words I wanted to say. I reached into my jacket as if fetching something from a pocket deep inside, and I continued. "If I had a ring... and I asked you..."
