Jared Singer - How to Make Love Stay (after Tom Robbins)

[@sofia-ld3dj]

“make sure your walk is something the world has never seen before” I cherish this so much

[@booklover78910]

"The world is a sharp-edged thief that will take EVERYTHING from you, and hope is a dirty prayer we usually misuse, but love is eternal...even though we are not." ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. That line just floored me. Such a well-done poem! ♥

[@daisymichelle2890]

“No matter if I become a cheap hollow reflection of who I am I will still love you” I interpreted this as we often reflect and project our insecurities on our partner. A lot of arguments stem from our own problems & this is saying that no matter how much i dislike myself, it has nothing to do with my love for you and your individuality. It could also be interpreted the same way but about self.

"hope - it's a dirty prayer that we usually misuse" 👏

"Love is never boring, it is never the same, which means you should never sing your love the same song twice." A strong sentiment on love's mystique and beautifying presence. In a world of confusion, chaos, and hate, love will see us through, no matter from who, from where, or how it comes.

[@kitluwi2495]

My interpretation of the poem is: (1) Everybody's definition of love is unique. Doesn't mean you have to copy how your neighbor treats their significant other to show that you love your partner. So long as you are making each day of his life better, do it. (2) Love is unique. As time goes by, you might grow so comfortable to each other to the point that you no longer keep the spark going. That's why you don't have to sing the same song twice. Make new experiences and ignite those sparks again, but this time even brighter. (3) The world is chaos. It ain't always greener on the other side. There will be always obstacles along the road. Nevertheless, focus on both of you. Focus on the life that both of you have just built. Don't ruin it. It's the last thing you wanna waste after all the shits the world has been throwing at you. I hope I did the right interpretation. This is a nice piece, Jared.

[@xoxochloegrey]

I needed to read this to have my thoughts written. You did me justice, love

[@kodyjohnson2333]

"even if I become a hollow fake version of my self I will always love you" I know you wont see this but wherever you go in life whatever choices you make, I will always be by your side and I will love you till the end. "Love is eternal and we are not" I will love you unconditionally eternally T.

"Who knows how to make love stay? 1. Tell love you are going to Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if loves stays, it can have half. It will stay. 2. Tell love you want a momento of it and obtain a lock of its hair. Burn the hair in a dime-store incense burner with yin/yang symbols on three sides. Face southwest. Talk fast over the burning hair in a convincingly exotic language. Remove the ashes of the burnt hair and use them to paint a moustache on your face. Find love. Tell it you are someone new. It will stay. 3. Wake love up in the middle of the night. Tell it the world is on fire. Dash to the bedroom window and pee out of it. Casually return to bed and assure love that everything is going to be all right. Fall asleep. Love will be there in the morning." Also: "Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not. Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end. Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm. There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay? Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself. Answer me that and I will ease your mind about the beginning and end of time. Answer me that and I will reveal to you the purpose of the moon."
