boys and girls

so i was riding home last night from having dinner at a friend's apartment downtown, (mmm homemade pizza), listening and consequently rocking out to ben folds with all the windows rolled down when i thought of something. 

maybe girls and boys aren't so very different after all. what do we want?

love. companionship. someone to be there when we are sick or sad. someone to help us when we need it and tell us the truth when we need it. someone to hold us. someone to hold on to. someone to bounce ideas off of. someone to listen to. someone to talk with. someone to need. someone to be needed by. 

basic stuff right? so what do we get caught up on? little shit. we think about how things are going to end before they even begin. we get so hung up on the what ifs...we never go through with the why nots. 

with my hand dancing in the warm summer night air out the window of that little car bouncing down the innerloop, i figured something out. to hell with the what ifs. i'm going with the why nots.
