I'd like to meet:
I want somebody who can hold my interest, hold it and never let it fall. Someone who can flatten me with a kiss that hits like a fist, or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall... I'm tired of being the interesting one, I'm tired of having fun for two. Just lay yourself on the line, and I might lay myself down by you. I want somebody who can make me scream until it's funny, give me a run for my money. I want someone who can twist me up in knots. Tell me, for the woman who has everything, what have you got? I want someone who's not afraid of me, or anyone else, in other words, I want someone, who's not afraid of themself. Do you think I'm asking too much?
-"Asking Too Much," Ani DiFranco.
That about sums it up. Know anybody like that? Are you somebody like that?
