"The power of love is a mysterious thing.
Makes one man weep, makes another man sing.
Make a bad one good. Make a wrong right.
The power of love will keep you home at night...."
I think Huey Lewis isn't just talking crap to make it rhyme. I feel i have finally realized how love is more than just cuddling and kissing and dates and presents and going to dinner and movies...maybe sometimes people are right when they say "love is bliss". "love is comfort" "love is all you need" but do you know what I say...
love is: developing a Multiple Personality disorder!
We begin with subject A:
Subject A is excited go to New York and thinks of nothing but the amazing times she will have and things she will learn and see and taste and hear. Subject A thinks she finally has what she has wanted all along. Subject A arrives in New York with a dream in her heart and a spring in her step and a twinkle in her eye and perhaps enough energy and excitement to light the city for the night during a power outage. Subject feels as though she is close to epitomizing freedom, independence, intellect, academic development and even hipster-ness. Suffice it to say that subject A could be considered your typical young girl in manhattan trying to "find herself."
Subject B, on the other hand has realized upon arrival and a little time living manhattan... that beyond manhattan there is MORE that one MUST explore! Subject B it at a different level of adventure and independence than girls like Subject A. B realizes that in order to have any type of perspective she better go to Peru. She better go to Chile, Argentina, Thailand, Australia, Italy and England before she claims to have any sort of diversified perspective or view of the world. Subject B at times has the tendency to view every ding dang new location not as an opportunity or potential home but merely a STEPPING STONE to the journeys and lessons ahead. Subject B is an over stimulated, over thinking, rapidly fluttering... "global butterfly."
Let us move on then to Subject C. C is perhaps a hybrid of the previously mentioned specimens. While C understands the glory, adventure and benefit of travel, C feels pressure to complete her studies with adequate grades, graduate with a degree and begin applying her "skills" out in the real world.While C would enjoy traveling, she tries to focus on the present: school & U.S. related life.
Our final subject, subject D has mulled it over and over and wonders if perhaps the only way she will ever figure out what to do with her education, her degree, her mind... her LIFE is to expose herself to another society in another country. She prints out an application. She can already smell the dust and hear the foreign dialects. She is almost CERTAIN that its the best choice... Until she hears the voice of her loved one. She cries. She wants nothing else in the entire universe but to feel him in her arms and smell his laundry. She cannot go on until she runs her fingers through his smooth dark hair. Nothing seems to matter but his freckles and feels incomplete.
She throws her head into her lap and knows not what to do--- because she realizes that she is in fact Subjects A, B, C and D all at once.
the end
I love you and it rushes through my blood vessels every hour every minute every second. |
