The Soulful Song Of Love’s Insanity

A heart and soul are just two halves that make us whole. We don’t know who we are until we’re able to listen to both, and bring 'em together. They play off each other. Then suddenly, the soul becomes aroused and the heart beats harder. It’s a mad soul kick somewhere deeper in your gut than you can point out to a doctor or a worried friend or a concerned parent. Ain’t no antacid around for this burn. One moment you can be sitting, maybe watching a pretty sunset somewhere nice, and a warm breeze kisses your face, and the sky’s reddening, and the birdsong of Spring’s deafening, and you’re holding the soft tender hand of the one you love.

In that moment you realize it’s as good and as bad as it’s ever going to get. It’s good cause you finally found the one and the pretty picture to share it with. It’s bad cause you only have so much time now to fill the album of this shared life together. You silently commit to robbing as many pictures of life’s finest and messiest and crazed moments with this individual as you can. Damn. It’s all enough beauty to start crying over, so you do. You taste the salt of your tears and wonder if that’s just what a weeping soul tastes like. You continue to cry hard, as your head starts to hurt, and you cry into each other as you realize that your heart’s now beating outside your chest in her lap, and hers in yours. You’re alive and more terrified of death and living in a moving picture without this person, than you could’ve imagined. Your soul is aroused, on fire even, and your heart’s playing to the beautiful damned tune of Love’s Insanity. We all know how the game goes, and it ends the same time, every time: find the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with. Consciously commit ourselves to them, as we make more room in the houses of our souls. Leave parts of us behind, to make room for what these special individuals will bring into ours. It’s a painful fucking act, but it’s LIFE and it’s LOVE and it’s daring to FEEL what our souls have to say when you give ’em a good damn reason to get aroused. Here’s to hearts and souls and what makes us whole.
