...i have settled for it...i am surrounded by those who have settled for it...i have suffered for it...and i can see those who suffer for it looking around for some kind of guiding light...but, when it's all you got...call it love...
...i remember riding in the very back seat of the family van going across the Walt Whitman Bridge heading to church...me in my own world...reading a book...or listening to music on my Walkman...usually i listened to tapes...the cure, Richard Marx, Milli Vanilli, or Amy Grant...it was the 80's after all...but for short trips like going to church i would just listen to the radio...
...i remember the first time hearing Poco's "call it love" i was so young and naive i honestly longed for a time, place, and a person to share an experience with me that we could call love...as the years have gone by, i have learned that ghastly dance...the compromise that should be avoided at all costs, but our hearts make it for us before we can turn it down...
...though i have flirted with it over the last year or so, i have been determined to not give in to it...i deserve to know it is love no matter what we call it...

um. the name of that fairy tale is "Yeah Right" haha...unfortunately i don't think there is "knowing." ever.
unless taking-it-on-faith = knowing... i which case i'll concede
but that might be the beauty in it?
ps: this song was soooo an Amy Grant song in an alternate universe, me thinks.
or did everything sound like that then?
haha that made me laugh...amy would do a lovely version...course i'd listen to her sing a computer manual...and true anytime you love you take it on faith...i meant, that i have in the past known it was not love, but called it by that name anyway...
