Love Is A Piano Dropped From A Four Story Window-The Final Frontier.

Love is a piano dropped from a four story window.
It is. It really is. No matter how many times i read these ingenious words of Anni Difranco, they will always have an impact on me.

Love isn't like anything or any emotion that you experience. It isn't what you think, or what you think you know, or who you think you are. Love is something far more complex then anything.

You can say, but not mean, that you love someone. But to say it and mean it, you have to show it. You have to show that person that you love them with all of your heart. And then hope that the love is returned.

I see so many "couples" these days who don't knnow the meaning of love. People throw that word around so much i think we've lost the meaning. Maybe nnone of us have even truely ever found it and we only ever will when we can love each other, love our neighbors, love ourselves, love our freinds and love our foes.

Maybe I don't know what love is. I'm not trying to sound like i do or be like the love-guru that some people think they are. I'm just saying, love is complex. It's not your typical one-definition-and-that's-the-end-of-story kind of word. It's more like a rainbow.

Love can be the feeling you get when you see your friends waitting for you to catch up. Sounds ridiculous, but then again, you love your friends right? And if they're your friends, you'd do anything for them, right? Well that's love.

Love can be when you come home and find that your mom has made your favourite meal for diner. Parents are annoying, i know too well, but they love you. And no matter what you can never really hate your parents. They might be awful sometimes or just screw your life and future up right to shit, but they're your parents. And you know you love them.

Love can be when you find that one person that makes you feel like gold. That lets you know that they love you and are willing to do anything for you. It could be when you realize that it's the one person that you can't live without. Or when you realize that all that time searching was wasted because the whole time you could have been with this person.

Love can develop. You could have known someone your whole life and not known that you love them until one day, it was just there. You can have love fade away too. You could have loved someone truely, with all of your heart, and then one day, just realized that your love for them now wasn't genuine.

Love is so confusing. Sometimes it keeps me awake at night, pondering the many aspects of it. Pondering.

Maybe Anni Difranco captures it best out of all. "Love is a piano dropped from a four story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

This could mean two things. This could mean that at the time that the piano fell, you were beneath it and it hit you head-on when love was not what you wanted right nnow in the least, or it came at the wrong time. Or it could mean that the love that you have been waitting for for ever, hoping that you would find fell from the roof of a building, and it didn't hit you because you weren't there. You missed love and sometimes it might only come once in a lifetime.

Hi great musings on love, very insightful
Please get rid of the pink font. I had to set my browser to change the colour to black so I could read your post.
Your blog is wonderful.

It won't work in reality, that's exactly what I consider.
