"I want to love you when you burn the toast and when you're shoes are awful and when you say the wrong things... I want to love you so much the we know and all the omniscient things of heaven know too.. let's love each other absolutely."
I love this line. (Jean, from Dead Man's Cell Phone)
Each night I get excited for it, when all the other character's are gone, and Jean knows exactly what she wants, and she looks into Dwight's eyes and says this.
I want to be Jean. I want to be Dwight.
Love is so elusive, sometimes. Or at least, it seems that way, until you realize love is everywhere and you've only to open your heart to it. But there are so many obstacles, so many problems before and after.
I want to be in love forever.
Most people, they don't think that's possible, so they don't look for it. They settle. They settle with their friends and their boyfriends and their marriages... I don't want to settle. And I don't want someone else settling for me.
But really, how can you be in love forever with someone who doesn't believe its possible?
I look for love. Or rather, I look for affection. I know it's not love, but it's comforting in the moment. A hug here, a kiss there. Something that passes the moment where I realize that I don't have what I want and I don't know how or where to get it.
I want to love someone absolutely.
And how are you supposed to find love when its all about sex, anyway? How do you know when someone cares deeply, from their heart, instead of somewhere else?
I want to love when the dishes are dirty. I want to love when I'm angry. I want to be loved by someone who looks at me and sees all my best and all my worst and sees love.
Where can I find that?

Love you! See you Saturday :)
