I Want To Hold Your Hand

"I've been in love before...the hardest part is when you're in it."

I'm listening to the song by Cutting Crew. I don't know that the hardest part is when you're in it, unless you count the part where you're still in love but not together. That's the hardest part sometimes... the lingering. Then there's the hardest part of watching while one of you moves on and the other is still stuck. Stuck is such an ugly word choice; implying that there's something wrong for feeling. It feels wrong sometimes for the involved parties.

When you're in it...you learn the things about yourself that only another can trigger...not teach. You teach yourself if you choose to learn. That's truly being "in it."

Today/tonight seems to be one of those days where all song lyrics lead me back to lessons. Some learned, some still learning and still some just lost on me as I choose selective memories. By limiting my choices...I'm following what Frenchy said earlier tonight in IM:

Earth Jeremy 7:28 pm
