No. It's not that easy.

"If you love me, you'll leave me the way I am, but you'll let

me make you over..."


"If you love me, you'll work your ass off so I can do what I please

while you're gone and then tell you it's none of your business..."


"If you love me, you'll do what I tell you and keep your thoughts

to yourself..."


"If you want to love me, you'll love me so that I'll want you..."


To hell with "if".



I have two speeds: On and off.

"When" I do something, I don't not do it.

"When" I don't do something, I don't halfway do it.


I am willing to follow rules, but when it comes to deeply personal

and spiritual things, I don't like "conditions".


I also like a bit of task-sharing.

And some line-drawing.

If the person I am involved with chooses to draw a line and

say,"Beyond this point, I will not go..." I better not find

footprints later.

And if that person expresses ignorance of a subject,

then they don't have an opinion about it until they bother

to ask a few questions or do a little research.

I don't think opinions "count" unless they are "informed opinions". Otherwise, it's just mindless chat.


And don't get into an argument with me over a topic that

I have researched and have some knowledge of how little I know

about it while you only think "that doesn't sound quite right

to me".


If you love me, you'll put your brain into gear.
