Immortality

You want a princess or a prince on a white horse? You want a knight in shining armour? How is that working for you? Perhaps you would be better off with someone who can stand firmly on her own two feet; someone with a heart stronger than his hands; someone who cultivates vulnerability, rather then feigning invincibility; someone who would rather be hated for who she is, than loved for who she is not. Perhaps you would be better off with someone more mysterious than defined; someone more mercurial than predictable, more eccentric than conventional. Perhaps you would be better off with an anomaly who makes you laugh, makes you think, makes you cry, tears of gratitude, in all its depth, and joy, to all its height. Only if a poet loves you, will you never die.
