Lonely in Love

Isn't love just the worst?
It's the thing that drives us to greatness, often leads us to insanity, has the potential to kill us, or even kill others. I don't trust anything that has the capacity to evoke such strong emotions or physical responses. I say this, of course, because I am still profoundly bitter after recent heartbreaks and misgivings that occurred when I actually let my guard down and allowed myself to feel such emotions. Jaded? Yes. I don't really know what my problem is. Maybe I just fall in love with the idea of love rather then the person. Then once I wake up and realize what I'm doing, I flip out and split. Either way, I need to get used to the idea of not dating for a while. I have way too many things going on in my life to focus on the needs of another person (aside from my daughter).
Although I must admit, I'm a sucker for a shoulder to rest my head on after a long hard day. And I much prefer a warm clavicle to sleep on instead of a pillow. Loneliness is just the part of being single that I can't get used to. Just having my self to depend on when things get hard, and being completely self reliant.

Mark my words, this shall be the summer of UNlove.
Or so help me...
