Paperman

Love is magic. It's like stardust. Try to catch it and it blows away in the breeze. It's like a wish all warm and bright. It is like sunlight. It drifts through the curtains creating pattern in the dust. It is a smile filled with happiness. Charged with a glow all its own. It is simple and complex. It is the magic that comes and goes. It doesn't warn it can't contained. Love is joy. Love is heartbreak. It is the thunderstorm in the middle of the night. It is the charge of lightning. Powerful and terrifying. It is strong gust of wind pushing against everything. Love comes and goes like the tides of the sea, but it there. In the sounds of the night. It is the cricket's melodies. It is the dawn. The song of the birds. It is a daydream. It is a nightmare. It is the boogeyman. It is the love of a family. It is the joy at twilight. It is a belief. It is the world turning. It is the brush of fingertips. It is the hope of people. It is magic all its own. Love is neither good nor evil. It just is. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Keep going. Love just is.

Sorry. I'm being a dork. Been watching Paperman and the music has been pouring in my veins. I blame my friend for this. She told me it was really good, so I've been dying to see it and I finally did and now I can't leave it alone. So I wrote this just now. I edited it a little, but not much. I'm gonna try to draw this out, but I'm not the greatest artist so we will see. I'm gonna post this on my tumblr too. Feeling adventurous. Anyway I've had romance on my mind for awhile now, because of this and Valentine's Day so I've been in a good mood and feeling creative. So here is my love letter to love I guess. I don't know. I know it isn't very clear in my work, but this is directed towards all sorts of love. The love between partners, the love between parents and children, between friends, between family, the love of a crush, or being in love with the idea of love. This is about the highs and lows of love. Love happens whether you want it to or not. Sometimes you just have to roll with it.
