Here we go again

The word on the street is that all the cool kids are on blogger. And now that all of my readers are officially on blogger, I decided to finally join the party. So raise your glass to blog three, which will hopefully contain less relationship pondering and more creative writing. We'll see.

So to begin and conclude, here's a poem that I found while digging through my first blog. Enjoy.

Untitled- heard on Def Jam back in 2003

"I want a love like,
Me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you type love, or
Me telling my friends more than I've ever admitted to myself about how I feel about you type love, or
Hating how jealous you are but loving how much you want me all to yourself type love, or
Seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name and,
I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you and I barely made it out of my garage.

See, I want a love that makes me wait until she's asleep and then wonder if she's dreaming about us being in love type love, or
Who loves the other more, or
What she's doing at this exact moment, or
Slow-dancing in the middle of our apartment to the music of our hearts, and,
I love not knowing where this love is headed type love, and check this:

I wanna place those little post-it notes all around the house so she never forgets how much I love her type love, and
Not have enough ink in my pen to write all the love I have about her and,
Hope I make her feel as good as she makes me feel, and
I wanna deal with my friends making fun of me the same way I made fun of them when they went through the same kinda love type love,

Only difference is, this is one of those real love type loves
And just like in high school, I wanna spend hours on the phone not saying anything, and then fall asleep, and then wake up with her right next to me!
And, smell her all up in my covers type love, and
I wanna try counting the ways I love her and then lose count in the middle just so I have to start all over again, and

I wanna celebrate one of those "one month anniversaries", even though they ain't REALLY anniversaries, but doing it just 'cuz it makes her happy type love, and
Check this:

I wanna fall in love with the melody the phone plays when her numbers dial in type love, and
Talk to you until I lose my breath,
She leaves me breathless, but with the expanding of my lungs I,
Inhale all of her back in to me.
I want a love that makes me need to change my cell phone calling plan to somethin that allows me to talk to her longer cuz, in all honesty,
I wanna avoid one of them "high cell-phone bill" type loves, and

I want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are,
I mean the lines of my hands don't give me enough time to love you as much as I'd like to type love, and
I want a love that makes me st-st-stutter just thinking about how strong this love is type love, and
I want a love that makes me wanna cut off all my hair.

Well, well maybe not ALL of the hair, maybe I cut the split-ends and trim my mustache but it would still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her, and

I kinda feel comfortable now, so
I even be fantasizing about walking out on a green light just dying to get hit by a car just so I could lose my memory, get transported to some third world country just to get treated and then, somehow meet up with you and fall in love with you in a different language just to see if it still feels the same type love.

I want a love that's as unexplainable as she is.
But I'm married, so...she's gonna be the one I share this love with."

Hello cool kid!

I like the poem, but then I don't get the end. Is it happy?

Of course it's happy. It's a twist, like... he's looking for all this love, but in fact, he's already found it in his wife. It's sweet.

It's the wow I want that type of envy...
