"A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set to song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth--that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: the salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter desolation, when man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way--an honorable way--in such a position a man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment. For the first time in my life I was able to understand the meaning of the words, 'The angels are lost in perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory'"
~ Victor E. Frankl, from Man's Search for Meaning
Instead of this:
Your love, your love, your love is my drug
...
It's a quarter after 1, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
...
So let me in give me another chance
To really be your man
Cause when the roof cave in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
Cause when the roof cave in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large

Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.

according to you.
...
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby.
...
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
...
I never meant to start a war
why does love always feel like a battlefield?

Which is all that I hear on the radio.

That quote was AMAZING. It gave me the chills. Seriously! I can't wait to be in love. Real love.
This is a very old post but I want to say that I have read it about 8 times with several months in between. I love it!
