all the songs we listen to tell us
"I just love them so much and if I just
love them enough and just write this song
then everything will work out and they'll love me too"
but that's not how it works, love is not a serenade
love is a relationship, a partnership and something
that isn't rehearsed or dramatic, it's a duet
of terrible voices as they try to harmonize and fail
but laugh, and dance together, and people who
are too uncomfortable to say what they feel
it can never be perfect, but it is musical, I think
just not what we expect- and we have to train ourselves
and relearn what it means to be a human person
we've been taught wrong. forget it. it's not what you think.
