As I start to understand relationships more... and how everything all works... love is getting more enchanting.

When I was younger, I barely knew what love was about. I didn't express it, I rejected nearly every love song I heard... romantic/drama movies held no appeal to me. I didn't have much love expressed to me... and I was fine with that.

I did have a longing for a relationship though... for some reason. I didn't know what love is... still don't... but I knew I wanted to be close with someone... and marriage seemed nice.

My heart has softened as I got a little older... there are some love songs I actually do enjoy... though many I hate.

I get romantic parts of some movies now... though at least on the quirky and strange side of things.

That desire to be there for someone, to honor and cherish forever... it's with me. Even if I fail at every attempt at attracting someone... this ideal will still exist for me. I'll probably become more bitter as time goes on, that I haven't experienced it... but it won't change my belief that it does exist.

Wonder what it feels like to be in love?
How would you describe it, like a push or shove?
Guess I could pretend that this is all I need
Wanting more than what I have might appear as greed.
