I am infatuated with her.
It is an utterly futile, forlorn, hopeless, foolish, insane, fruitless, delusional, mindless, childish, senseless, vain and completely pointless infatuation.
I should shake my head, shrug my shoulders, button my coat and act like the grown up that I am.
And yet, wanting no more from her than she would ever be prepared to give, I am strangely content.
I am happy knowing she exists beneath the same sky.

I don’t know why infatuation is always associated with childish behavior. No shrugging…embrace this. It’s beautiful.

It is a great feeling. I agree. Undemanding, altruistic and sweet. Rare for me too. I am usually on the other end. (Oh god, that sounds immodest)

I smiled. Infatuation makes us nutty. That I understand.

I find your infatuation beautiful and, strangely enough, want to know more about the woman that has grabbed you in such a fashion. It intrigues me, and I do hope you write more of it and her.

I doubt I will. Infatuation is but ephemeral

I had to look at the word ephemeral.
I learn so much from you and you don’t even try. Thank you.

You are so sweet. For some reason your comment made me recall a verse by the brilliant Joni Mitchell:
You criticize and you flatter
You imitate the best
And the rest you memorize
You know the times you impress me most
Are the times when you don’t try
When you don’t even try

Noooo please don’t “act like the grown-up you are”. I like this side of you. 🙂
I am glad someone has captivated you, if at least for a short-time, because the way you describe it here is a wonderful feeling you are having.
Love it!

It has its downsides – but yes. It has been good for me. And everyone needs a slap in the face sometime. For many reasons she has been mine.

A slap in the face eh? Hmmm I guess you could be right.
Did you know I always wanted to do that. Be all melodramatic and say “well I never” slap. Hahaha

In this case it might be too late, since I am not young, besides I don’t put myself in those situations that might require me to act that way. It’s just a silly little girl fantasy of mine. 🙂
