Люди как книги.
Начиная где-то с 12-13 лет меня стали интересовать люди - разные личности, непонятные, потерянные, сильные, умные, глупые, зрелые и не совсем, они стали для меня заменой книг, которые я поглощала страницами начиная с 4 лет. А оказалось, что люди могут быть более интересными, познавательными, поучительными, мотивирующими, чем книги. С тех пор так ничего не изменилось. В дополнении к книгам, я прознаю мир через людей - этих странных и неизведанных, до сих пор для меня, существ..(пауза и смайлик)
Каждый из нас пишет свою, образно говоря, "Книгу жизни"... И когда я встречаю нового человека, я определяю хочу ли я прочесть эту "книгу" от корки до корки, просто полистать или мне достаточно посмотреть на обложку и все становится понятно. А есть такие "произведения", которые хочется перечитывать снова и снова или, прочитав "вступление", потом не терпится "поглотить" эту книгу. Наверное это и есть влюбленность

It's Raining in Love
"It's Raining in Love"
I don't know what it is,
but I distrust myself
when I start to like a girl a lot.
It makes me nervous.
I don’t say the right things
or perhaps I start
to examine,
evaluate,
compute
what I am saying.
If I say, "Do you think it's going to rain?"
and she says, "I don’t know,"
I start thinking: Does she really like me?
In other words
I get a little creepy.
A friend of mine once said,
"It's twenty times better to be friends
with someone
than it is to be in love with them."
I think he's right and besides,
it's raining somewhere, programming flowers
and keeping snails happy.
That's all taken care of.
BUT
if a girl likes me a lot
and starts getting real nervous
and suddenly begins asking me funny questions
and looks sad if I give the wrong answers
and she says things like,
"Do you think it's going to rain?"
and I say, "It beats me,"
and she says, "Oh,"
and looks a little sad
at the clear blue California sky
I think: Thank God, it's you, baby, this time
instead of me.
