The Love Bug

Love?  

What’s love?  

It means a lot; makes me feel happy and exciting and joyful. 

When I was younger, I didn’t have that much... No one in church really, but in school... I had a couple little girlfriends. Tasha was my first one... There was Laura and Angie... I had one in particular... it was Tammy.  

We dated.  

We went to the beach and we went to the fair. When we went to the beach, we talked and played in the sand and the ocean. And at the fair, we went to a Louise Mandrell concert. And, after a while I didn’t keep up with the dating part that well.  

We didn’t really keep in touch because we moved and went separate ways. She was my last serious girlfriend. But, other than that... I haven’t had much luck with women now and finding the right female. I’m still searching... can’t really figure that out. 

I’m not sure, I’m still I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. 

Showing love? You give them gifts or presents. Like if someone gets married, this shows love... it’s the person like and never want to spend a day without them. 

There’re different types of Love. Besides romantic love... There’re plenty of other ways that I love. I love family and friends. I don’t know what other kind of love I can give you... OK—here they are: 

Valentine’s Love – It's a time where you can give somebody something. Like soft (stuffed) animal or candies. And flowers as well... my favorite type of flower I don’t have a favorite, but to give fore Valentine’s day... red rose would be one of them.  

And type of candy? Chocolates!  

For the animals, a toy dog or twin kissing bears. Also, some soft music... that’s what I do. Romance Music, like Kenny Rogers and Lorrie Morgan and different love music.  No, actually, um... I listen to something Bobby Vinton “Roses are Red.” My favorite love song is very hard to pick...  

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, the first song I want to listen to is “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by Willie Nelson. 

Romantic Love – Same thing I was talking about earlier... there’s a difference from just Valentine’s Day... it’s more than a crush. You tell someone how much deeper you feel about them. You can watch movies and see this love; like Sleepless in Seattle, Runaway Bride, French Love. 

Wedding Love – You tell somebody you love them. You get down one knee (I guess... no, I’m right on that one... yeah!) - you tell them that you love them, “Will you such and such (fill in the blank, though), Will you marry me? (That’s how you propose to them), you will probably shock them... they might be surprised (and hopefully they’ll be happy and say YES). And then, you KISS them! Other people will then congratulate you. That’s when the wedding happens. 

Anniversary Love – Then, after the wedding and reception... comes the Anniversary (or as Brandon likes to call it... “Your time served.”) Every year you’ll celebrate your anniversary. Well, I don’t remember... cause I’m not married. But, I’m sure there would be a celebration. I’d take ‘em out. To a fancy restaurant or an outing like somewhere downtown or vacation somewhere. 

Friendship & Family Love – Friendship love. Family always like my brother and parents and sometimes my grandparents and aunts and uncles and my cousins. I show my love by hugs and general love... that kinda thing. Friends, oh... you just um hug ‘em and talk and hangout... spend some time with them. 

Soul-Mate? Do I believe in it? Yes. Am I looking for one? What am I looking for in one? I don’t know... Well, my perfect person... for me—who's nice, kind, and beautiful, who you want to share your life with and who you want to live with and wants to do/like the same things I do... like this person would like country and not just such and such... this other person likes something and I won’t like something—it's not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just different. 

Is it hard or easy? It depends on who you like... that’s the hard part. 

I don’t have any more thoughts on love... not to my knowledge... Just that I’m still looking. And, this: Anyone out there that’s still looking for love... keep trying. Don’t give up. Whenever you might least expect it, true love might come along!
