Love

Lately i can't wait to be in love. Not that stupid, infatuated, giddy, sweaty, walking-on-air feeling; the I know every grubby, ugly, offensive reality about you and I love you! I can't wait to look someone in the eye and know for a fact that we're going to share the rest of our lives. The love I grew up watching resonate between my parents. The love I saw, well aged, well worn, between my grandparents. I can't wait for that. I don't know who he is, or where he is, or how old he is, but I'm gonna stop looking; as counter-intuitive as that is, I'm gonna trust that he'll find me. I'm done with test drives, trial runs, playing house and all the like. I'm holding out for the real thing. Wish me luck! Call me insane. It's like that Postal Service song... "I've got it covered in cans of food, filtered water and pictures of you, and I'm not coming out until this is all over"
