New Tech Girl. Old School Romantic.
Ok I’m a geek. I have an obscene amount of MP3s and every once in a while I’ll do a file search on the drives and create a playlist based on a word. Today’s MP3 mix is based on the search term “Forever”. This, is my favorite song today.
Not talkin’ ’bout a year
No not three or four
I don’t want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you
People spend so much time
Every single day
Runnin’ ’round all over town
Givin’ their forever away
But no not me
I won’t let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you
Like a handless clock with numbers
An infinite of time
No not the forever found
Only in the mind
Forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you
I love the notion that such things can still exist…like an emotion, an enthrallment, an attachment, a sense of Jhung (an undefineable Korean term for attachment/commitment/connection/understanding/heart). Is it possible to be both a cynic and old fashioned & hopeless romantic?
I’d never do it personally, but I respect anyone who trully dies from heartache. There used to be a time when any young lover could experience an overwhelming emotion that would swell from the belly up to expand through the chest and get caught in the throat and stay stuck there, making it impossible to eat, to speak, to live with the glorious burden of trying to express the magnitude of their love to the other. Ahh…I’m a fool, aren’t I? Perhaps forever. But I rather like it that way.
