Tonight i'm thinking of my college girl, and everyone who i love who's heart is a little broken.

And what i'm thinking is, if we could all just get together, and put the pieces of our hearts in a pile, and got out some glue and just started working, we'd make something real beautiful.

The Mosaic that doesn't tell a story with clean edges. Nope our story has weird shapes and jagged edges, but it's ours, and when the light hit it, it sparkles.

And i think we had the let the jagged edges poke us and scratch us and maybe even make us bleed a little. You know leave a scar. So we are linked, permanently, to each other.

To remind us that love is like a scar, ugly but permanent.

Love is a verb, right? How can we make love more active?

love is....

knowing each others starbucks drinks.
leaving voice mails of christmas mouse singing let it snow
crying over dogs
crying with each other when shit get too real
car ride talks
laughing
coffee dates where you talk more than listen.
Hugs in the lobby
Smiles and high fives.
praying for each other
sitting. talking. being honest
knowing the roads that lead you home.
singing to stupid pop songs
leaving notes
borrowing clothes
surprise corn dogs
watching the cher farewell tour 399 times with your gay.
making hand turkeys
sharing knowing glances.
holdin' babies
and holdin' down forts
saying thank you, i love you, and help me.

the ing...implies a "gerund" which means its a verb in progress.

let's always make "love" an "ing" because i dont' ever want there to be an expiration date on my love. or your love.

lets get together and feel alright.
