A guy in a song on YouTube is singing about stars blowing around
\nand how he\u2019d really like to see this woman tonight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m thinking maybe I shouldn\u2019t be listening to such songs because
\nthey get me thinking too much about that feeling the guy is having<\/p>\n

that need, that desire to see that woman, the joy, the love he is feeling.
\nAnd I vicariously start feeling and remember how wondrous such feelings are.<\/p>\n

And momentarily I pine a bit for days in the past when I was that guy
\nreally wanting to see a woman I loved on a moonlit, starry night.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t let myself get attached too much to those romantic feelings,
\nthose romantic memories. I let them go and repress the nearly <\/p>\n

irrepressible romantic in me that occasionally rises up from my heart
\ndespite my attempts to ignore those feelings at an age and monklike <\/p>\n

existence when I feel I should be beyond such fanciful, silly thoughts
\nand completely devoid of and impervious to them.<\/p>\n

But, alas, such is not the case, and at least a less romantic song is
\nplaying now where a guy is singing about werewolves in London.<\/p>\n

And the werewolves have chased away my romantic feelings
\nand probably frightened away those stars that were blowing around in the other song.<\/p>\n
