Defining Love

[MT_Pitcher]

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

You’re asking me will my love grow
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around now it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

Don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

Maybe it's catchy

Re: Re: Maybe a little philosphy might work here,

Nothing wrong with a little romance DLL. Your poem is quite nice. Yes, I too notice little things.

SCM

You look in the mirror
At lines that were not there yesterday
And find a couple more hairs turned grey
With a nervous glance at me
You wonder if
I notice ‘Little Things’

Later, as I lay beside you
And sleep has closed your eyes
I think of the way you stroked my hair
And how, before you hung my jacket
You held it close to you

I reach out and take your hand
And with all the Love the world has ever known
I bring it to my lips
For yes
I notice ‘Little Things’




DLL

i am in a really romantic mood today

It must be rough knowing that all the best music was written before you were born.

I've been sittin' here
Tryin' to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin' for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And now I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in life
I watch my younger son
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills to help to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollar bills still I feel the
same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks fuck with me
It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love

And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around

People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the shit that I've been
through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin'
I've been walking down that there line
So I think I'll keep on walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why

Only God.....Only God
Only God knows why
Only God....knows....why, why, why only God knows
why
Take me to the river's edge
Take me to the river, hey hey hey

this is kid rock its a good song...listen to it its on lauchcast...only god knows why...

Defining love and noticing the little things

There was a thread last year that I posted to called "What do you long for" It ended the end of October and I posted about the death of a very close friend that I only knew for a about a year.

Is this love? I do believe this qualifies as that. It's the little things that you notice.

This is just a snipit of that post.

"We met at work and the first time I saw her, I knew we would be good friends. At that time, I didn't know how good. We chatted about anything and everything, and the conversations were real. After about a year later, I knew that she could reach me on such a deep level, that it was scarey. She could view my inner being and I knew then that we were soul mates.

We lay outside on the grass looking up into the stars and could hear each others hearts beating. Hearing each others breath as we inhale and exhale and just being together made our world. She would sing as we danced together, holding each other in a tight embrace. Our hearts beating as one, and being one with the universe. Her eyes, when I would look at them would take me to places that only fantasy could take you. Her smile was so bright, it was blinding. Her lips, red and moist and when she talked, quivered ever so slightly. The smell of her hair would drown a man dieing of thirst.

You ask what I long for, I long for my soul mate Kristen."

I remember that post and I think I thought about Pming you a poem but I dont think I did because I didnt know you well at all...it touched me then as it touches me now..

 

[midwestyankee]

SCM, like DLL, I also remember your post about your soul-mate Kristen. I was moved by your story. Thank you for bringing it here for others to experience.

TY DLL, I still think about her. I'm sure I always will. In fact, if I close my eyes and think, I can smell her hair. I miss her with all my being. Just thinking about her makes me smile.

Thanks Yankee, I do appreciate it that people remember the post. In a way, it keeps her alive to me.

Here is a question,

They say it is better to loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

What does that say to the heart broken? To the ones that have loved and lost forever, everything is gone except memories. Do you think that is enough?

Let me expand on this a little further.

They say that a person has 2 true loves in the world. Most are very lucky to ever find just one. Personally, I believe, I have found both of those love and now 1 is gone from my life forever. What is my life going to be like when the other is gone?

Well far be it for me to come to your defense Yank *only because you don't need it*, but being an analytical type myself, strangely I do understand your quest. Only problem is that I have no answer for you;

SCM would it help you to know I've never heard of the '2 true loves' philosophy? I don't see why there should be a limited number. Certainly wouldn't give up hope of more.

We are in this world for a limited number of years. It is beyond reason to think that there are more than 2 true loves for every person.

To me, for a true love, you have to see the beauty in a person that no one else can and the beauty that they can see in you that no one else can. Someone that you would go to the end of earth for and jump of the edge. Someone that when they die, so does a part of you. Someone that they are the first thing you think of when raising in the morning and the last thing you think of as you lay your head down to sleep. Someone that they are a part of you as you are a part of them.

As DLL said, the little things you notice about them, the way they twrill their hair, the way they squeeze the toothpaste in the middle instead of the end, the way the eat a cinnamon roll from the center out just because they cinnamon is thicker in the middle and they want it first, or even when they comb their hair when they have a headache because it makes them feel like your running your fingers is running through hair soothing the ache.

Knowing the little quirks of more then 2 loves can be nerve racking and it can take years. Two true loves/soul mates is enough for me.

Then I guess I have to say to each his/her own. I have already been blessed with 2 true loves, by your definition. As I'm with neither of them today, I see no reason the give up hope that I might be blessed again. My heart is open...if I am lucky....

I'm not sure luck has anything to do with it, but if it must then I hope you have all the luck of the Irish and the success of the French.

Perhaps you're having more luck than you're letting on:your PM inbox has been full all afternoon!

I have watched this thread over the last few days, with thoughts running through my head but never quite able to get them together enough to put on paper so to speak...


Would I have given up the happiness I had if I knew that it was going to end? To have never had a love that we had?

If you'd asked me months ago, when I was hurting really bad, I might have said yes, I'd have rather not loved then have the feelings of hurt & betrayal I was feeling...

Now, even though it still hurts like hell, I have the memories and Damn..I'd not trade those memories or feelings for anything!

I think a broken heart is something you never get over, no matter what caused that broken heart, death, separation, etc. The pain just gets a bit easier to handle.
I have in my sig line a statement that someone made to me once and I think it holds true. It means to me that you never get over it because the person that broke your heart can never give you back what you gave them of yourself..of your heart.

I'm not sure if it's luck or not...but I am part Irish and I do love a French accent ...so maybe.

My apologies...I must have deleted the email letting me know thinking it was just a notification of a posting on Lit. Great luck with wonderful friends....but they aren't the same a true loves (though I dislike the term, it's the one that's being used). There's a little room now...I'm afraid I'm terribly lazy when it comes to deleting PMs.

I really like your last statement especially. I'm thinking that part of the heart you gave to the other ~ yes, there is a hole but I think it does fill in once again, perhaps to be given yet again - well I hope anyway.

What an interesting idea, thanks Fiesty.

Maybe remembering is enough then. I will never get over Kristens death, nor would I want to. Besides hurting, it reminds me that life is always fragile, and to remember our love is means never to be forgotten.
