With Apologies to Selena Gomez

(yes I had to look up who sings this song)

I love you like a love song, baby.  Ardent at first. I play it over and over, and can’t seem to get enough. I listen to it on my way to work, on my lunch break, when there is no one else in my office, I hum it in the shower. I sing it in the car, embarrassing myself at stoplights. And then, after a few weeks, I don’t switch to it first on my iPod. I find myself turning back to Yo Yo Ma, rather than it as I fall asleep.  Later, not as much later as I’d like, as I don’t like to think of myself as capricious – I change the station when it comes on the radio. I groan when the club plays it.  I roll my eyes as younger, wide eyed girls sing it on the street.  Soon I can’t stand it hearing it at all…

and apologies that I missed a few days - I had a bit of election fever, and neglected many duties!
