Too Much

To do, to want, to need. Lets make a list shall we. Food, Shelter, Companionship. Now lets get a bit more in depth. Eating at a nice restaurant every so often, heat hot water and electricity in a good sized apartment in a good neighborhood. An attractive woman (or man in whatever your instance) who understands and appreciates you. Now lets try this one more time. Groceries in the fridge, a decent stove, fridge, microwave. A set of nice plates and silverware and maybe a matching dining room set. A house maybe with a deck, a yard with large rooms and ah shit I don't feel like going on with this. I really think the beatles had it down, all you need is love. Love can make Salisbury steak taste like a fillet mignon. Love can make a shack feel like a castle. And love can make a a companion the center of the world. So what do you do without love? Go hungry cold and desperate. All probably with a smile on your face. Buy TV's and DVD's and the million other small pleasures that food and drink can provide. Placate yourself with hobbies and interests until you think you have forgotten what it is you truly need. And you wake up on a Sunday morning and realize that's the dog sleeping beside you. And you have to spend the rest of another day trying to forget what the first thing you realized when you woke up.
All you need is love....
