LOVE hasn’t been kind to me lately

you know the drill. in the heterosexual world—boy meets girl; girl meets boy; they fall in love; and live happily ever after. and we all know that that’s bull. what really happens is: boy meets girl; girl meets boy; they fall in love (or so they think); then boy meets another girl (or boy); boy dumps girl one; boy calls; girl one falls again; boy plays then meets another girl (or boy)… and so on.

it's boring how everything about the so-called-wonderful-emotion-that-is-love got so predictable. you love, you hurt. that’s it. there’s no other way around it. no bargains. no time-outs. when it’s there, it’s there. you can’t say, “hey wait a second, you can’t love me like that—i’m not ready, no fair!”

you just feel it, you know? it’s there… so overpowering, it’s almost tangible. yeah? so is “pain,” right? like love, you can’t manipulate it—you can’t choose which time of day you suddenly feel like dying from loneliness… you can’t tell your boss, “tears? what tears? oh, these… i must’ve poked my eye with my… eyelashes. yep, sure, it happens. haven’t you heard of it happening to anybody before?”

fuck it.

pain and happiness, i think, are universal. doesn’t matter whether you’re white, black, yellow or brown—feelings, emotions, are common. and just because i’m a woman doesn’t mean i ache more. and i know you know—this ain’t easy. you bury yourself in work. you walk aimlessly under the rain. you shop without purpose or direction—no wait, i take that back. shopping is vital. it needs apt concentration. but you get what i mean, right? i’m just aching, it sucks.

i miss him.

HDV—a love story

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

Whenever I call you friend I begin to think I understand Anything we are You and I have always been ever and ever

I see myself within your eyes And that's all I need to show me why Everything I do, always takes me home to you Ever and ever

Now I know my life has given me More than memories Day by day we can see In every moment there's a reason to carry on

Sweet love showin' us a heavenly light I've never seen such a beautiful sight

Sweet love flowin' almost every night I know forever we'll be doin' it right

Whenever I call you friend I believe I've come to understand Everywhere we are you and I were meant to be Forever and ever

I think about the times to come Knowin' I will be the lucky one Ever our love will last I always want to call you friend

Sweet love... sweet love You're the glowing light in my life The source of pride in my life Everything I do takes me back to you
