How does Jeff Buckley do it? Every lyric is absolutely gut wrenching…so aching and beautiful.
” Its never over my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
Its never over all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
Its never over all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
She’s a tear that hangs inside my soul forever”

…gorgeous

How did he feel like that? A better question…How did he put it into words? lyrics much less?

How does the heart survive such emotions? Such strength in feelings? How does it not collapse from stress or strain? How do we live through it? How does it love again? How do we love again?

Where does one love stop and another begin?

Maybe it’s that no love ever stops…. it just subsides, enabling us to overlap the love and start all over again

This is where the age old tale of first love comes from. The first person you give your heart to that magically you never seem to forget, or stop caring about. Even if there was alot of heartache and pain they still have this special place in your heart where you never forget them. Why is that? I think the only answer is first love syndrome. Theres something very special about the first time you fall in love that is like nothing else. I think its the first time you start thinking of yourself with another person, we live so long in the mind of singleness and then….BAM! We start thinking for two. And we attach. Its our nature to attach…and we do. I think thats why we never forget it. Its the first glimpse of what we hear about our while lives, or see in movies, or listen to in songs….its the first time we are apart of something thats bigger then we are

But how do we do it? How does the heart survive such emotions? Such strength in feelings? How does it not collapse from stress or strain? And if we lose it… How does it love again? How do we love again

Is it possible that we never stop loving at all?
