Love and a little bit of understanding
"Life has funny ways..." was what Alanis said. I would change that to "love has funny ways..." in my present mood. Love runs about me, through me, and comes through unexpected and dusty ways of my heart. Funny how the love I feel for my friends is so intense, so pure, so easy going... And how what I feel for a woman is both intense and painful at the same time. I reject the feeling as much as I crave it, as much as I fear to be rejected. When friendship gets mixed up with desire, things get complicated, and love takes on a new face (or a new mask maybe?), and I feel constant pain again. Easy then to understand how bad I am for finding a partner. How well I know that fear and pain are the two worst things to get myself attractive, or reassured that I am in any case.
There is no end to the thoughts coming through my mind, in his own good way of control-keeping ; no end to this things I'd like to say to ease my mind, but cannot get the courage to write, thus revealing myself too much.
I love a woman, I can feel the pain.
