The book of love is long and boring

I have realised in recent weeks that I really want to be meaningful to someone. The thing that moves me the most in movies, songs, and stories is when a depth of feeling is expressed for someone. I do not think I have evoked really deep feelings of love in anyone. Ever. It makes me feel quite sad.

Of course this is nothing you can force. Or even really look for. It either happens or it doesn't. But wow, wouldn't it be wonderful to be adored. To know that you really move someone and take their breath away. That you are ENOUGH for them.

That's what stood out for me in Slumdog Millionaire. The depth and breadth and all-consuming love that he felt for her is simply breathtaking. It literally makes my heart ache.

I am a romantic at heart, truly. I believe in love.

I had not heard this song before today... but I would love someone to feel like this about me...
I'd love it if someone read to me.

Book of Love - Peter Gabriel

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing

But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb

But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know

But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings
