warning

damn. what a damned shame hindsight is so good.

 

I remember that

I thought I was in love.  I

also remember

the butterflies and tidal

waves of emotion.  I wish that

someone had taken

me aside and softly said,

“dear, it is not love.

it is lust.  don’t worry ‘cause

it happens to all of us,

and it will not last.

you will feel sad but you won’t

die.  don’t change your life

because of this.  just enjoy

it.   remember how it feels.

next time, your eyes will

be sharper.  you’ll be able

to recognize that

phony fairy dust for what

it is.  enjoy while you may.”

Nope, we wouldn't have listened. I remember feeling this thing and thinking that guy held the very moon for me. Naaaw, I found out (much later) he was just a great kisser. Ha! Nicely done. Angi~

You are right. We would have ignored such advice. Thanks.

phony fairy dust... - Yes, that is exactly what it is. I wonder if someone actually did take me aside and told me this, if I would have listened... Love (and lust) have a crazy effect... Great one!

[annie lee]

yup. oh, well, we would have been too starry-eyed to listen. Thanks.

Now you tell me! Love this, it's so matter of fact, and so full of truths, I'd still go for it though, you know what they say, you only live once... nice one!

[annie lee]

Thanks. But you know, I have a secret and fervent desire that "you only live once" is not true. I have big plans for the next go-around.

Something everyone learns sooner or later. Unfortunately even if mosst of us had gotten this warning, we likely wouldn't have listened. Thanks for sharing :)

[annie lee]

You are so right. We would have turned a deaf ear to that advice. Thanks for reading.

My pleasure entirely.
