I wanted this on my page but I wasn’t sure where to put it so I put it in a section called Heroes for now. A friend’s boyfriend here on MySpace wrote the quote I am including below. It just says it all when it comes to love along with "love is blind" or "love is another form of insanity because you do and feel things you would never do otherwise" (I paraphrase when I need to, lol). There are many good things about being in love but only when it works in the ways it should. Actually, there can be nothing better when it works. When it doesn’t you can begin to know what would be considered hell, or think and feel so.
I am in no way saying a woman needs a man or a man needs a woman to validate their existence but it is the real spice of life. Wouldn’t it be nice if it worked the way we would want it to???
Here is that friends quote:
""Love means giving someone the power to destroy you and trusting them not to do it"". I wish I thought of that, :-). I bet many have been there and I am no exception. Twice not too long ago and with the same woman. Shows where my faith and trust can be as well as my ability to see. Ah yes, love can truly blind us but we keep trying with a new love when it hits us because of that "there is nothing better when it works" theory. So we keep hoping. Maybe we should just take our time, let ourselves find out and let it happen instead of making it happen. Cooking to fast and over cooking can spoil the soup.
Here is a poem I wrote and published. It says what I am feeling about this thing that is so illusive to many of us. If you want to see more of what I’ve published go to Poetry.com .

WHY WE KEEP TRYING???
Ah yes, the way most sane people lose control
Is by finding a new love, it surly takes its toll.
We have trouble sleeping, it’s no longer a special need...
And when it comes to eating we are mostly off our feed.
We consume our hearts and our thoughts with our new mate of soul...
We think not of much else but to make this new love our special goal.
We risk all because when it works there is nothing that can be more sweet...
This kind of special happiness in no way can be beat.
We trust so much in what this new love would have to do and say...
That even the truth, if it would contradict, we will not let it pass our way.
And so we hope, beyond all hope, that what our new love tells us is true...
Because when its not, the hardest thing is for us to know what to do.
We as people never so much lose control as when a love goes wrong...
All that is left are tears and pain and the words from country music song.
We will seem to keep trying when we meet a new love to share...
But, we ask ourselves, "how many more will I risk if this current (new) love also ends in despair".
This is why most sane people lose control...
If you keep trying and you do not find it, it surly does take its toll.
But we as people go on risking our hearts and sanity for this special goal; love be its name...
To give up hoping would really be our ultimate shame.
......This is why we keep trying, love be its name......
