My favorite poem by a man named percy.

Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?

See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

If it made you smile, then I'm blessed. :) Ol' Shel's a good bloke.

Unfortunetly, no...I don't have any one girl whom I like...

Probably because they _always_ shoot me down :P

Still, I can send it to some dozen females just because :P though I doubt I will.

you never know... the scattergun approach might work... ('course, I'm a true romantic, and tend to think Karma will run you over like a little tiny kitten on the 5 lane highway of life if you enter into things of love without the purest of intentions....)

Except I know that like, every girl I know doesn't like me very much.

Ergo, it doesn't matter :P

I like the bachelor life a lot!

Perhaps it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or... not. as long as you're having fun and not hurting anybody. :)
