"We love the things we love for what they are."

Robert Frost. Beautiful line. I like poetry, however Robert Frost is not my favorite poet, I prefer the darker side of poetry such as Edgar Allen Poe, I think I just relate better to it, yes, that sounds silly, that I like darker poets, but I think they're more intriguing then a poet who writes about a tree blowing in the wind. When I write poems, they're generally about something I've gone through, I like to have a story about myself rather then just reading a puff piece about a flower petal. I like Emily Dickinson, but only some of her things. I want, when a reader reads one of my poems I want them to get a small glimpse into my life, not just my love of nature. (I like it, in concentrated doses, or when I'm with my friends, alone however, I do not like nature.)
Anyways, yes, I used a quote with love in it... AGAIN. (why you might ask? I wouldn't know.) I think love, because it's so foreign to me, is what makes it so interesting, so special so and unattainable. Because that what love is to me, love is unattainable. I push it away, so I'm not complaining about it. Love has this thing about it see, that when you do find something you love, it doesn't matter how flawed it is. You could love the most disgusting shirt in the world, but you still love it for whatever reason, it could've belonged to someone that you cherished of found to be special, or a wrapper from something that you had fun at, silly things, but I mean, you love what you love.
The heart wants what the heart wants. Or else it does not care at all. (I'm pretty sure that Emily Dickinson said that.) I mean though, it's true, its incredibly true. As much as I'm going to tell myself that I don't want to fall for anyone, my heart decides, my brain kinda just follows along with the rest of my body. I simply don't have a choice. I think that's one of the fun parts of being young, you can make mistakes, but still the rest of your body doesn't really understand what you've just done to yourself, all it realize's is that you'r happy and you seem to stay happy for a long enough time.
Love is a disease that poisons the mind and all reasoning along with it. (I said that by the way.) I mean it really is, then Paulo Coelho said "Love is a disease that no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured." which I think is sooo true, (yes I just had one of those strange girl moments.) Love really is a disease, and it's that strange one that EVERYONE wants. Then there a couple who are like, 'well, no. I think being clear and happy is such a nice curse and a burden that I'll go with alone.' because when you're in love, you don't think clearly, I mean how many people don't look back on early years and think, 'wow, I am dumb, why did I like them? I don't know...? I am so much smarter now.' Everyone thinks like that, so if you're that weird person that DOESN'T think like that, then please, tell us your secret, because I would like to know the magic for happy living.
You can ask anyone who's actually in love that this question. "Would you change a thing?" Most of the time, they would look at their significant other, or think of them and say with a happy silly tone, "No, of course not." That's what everyone says, it's not just what I would say, (which I will never.) or friends of mine, I mean it's just the generic answer to that AGE OLD QUESTION...
anyways, we love the things we love for what they are. You love what you love, simple as that. I don't love it for something it's not, I won't love someone for something that they aren't. I want to look at someone, and know why I fell for them, normally when I do see someone, and I fall for them, I need to figure out the reason I fell for them. I don't just want to aimlessly fall for someone, I want to like them for them. I want to notice someone, but I don't just want to like someone to like them. I want to like them, because I see something/someone worth actually liking.
