Right, those moronic love songs that wail, "I belong to you" as though it were a desirable state to be equated to someone's portmaneau.

Every now and there is a "one" with whom the mind, body, and soul connect. It is not the only potential "one," but there are very few such possible bondings for each person, I think. This is when marriage is a real thing, not merely a societal construct. In this kind of relationship "belong" is irrevelant as it applies to ownership. It is the other meanings of the word, "to be a part of, to share deeply...."

Ah, I still have faith in this kind of loving. After all these years and all these scars.

How appropriate for this thread.

Ok, now somehow I knew it would take this turn...I did not write the song, and I don't belong to anyone...but I love someone very much and my affections are definitely directed toward that person..though I sadly made some wrong decisions when I was young..

so it is sad to be commited to someone else when the right one comes along...

..repeating my theme throughout this board...

DON"T SETTLE!!!!
