And as I was thinking about that b/c of a song Dustin played for me...
I Don't Want to Get Over You
The Magnetic Fields
I don't want to get over you.
I guess I could take a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to
go through what I go through.
I guess I should take Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new.
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get you off my mind.
I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do if I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you
Cause I don't want to get over love.
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of;
I could listen to all my friends and go out again and pretend it's enough,
Or I could make a career of being blue--I could dress
in black and read Camus,
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was 17 that would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you.
As an aside... I love Camus.
