"Jane says
I've never been in love
I don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me"
i've been in lust, obsession
i've felt real concern for someone's well being
i've been comfortable but not attached
but i've never been in love
i can't make it work...
so maybe you were right
when you said there was something different
that some people just dont have the ability to love
and that maybe i was one of them
and that after trying for so long
you just couldnt get through
its not that i didnt care
its just that i didnt love
i dont believe in it

I can't tell you how eerily this echoes my own thoughts of a few years ago. I was pretty thoroughly convinced during high school and freshman year of college that I was incapable of feeling emotion the same way everyone else did. I just didn't see how people got so caught up in it. And I think that statement has the reason in its wording; people get caught up in it, it isn't something we can really be that conscious of or in control of, which, especially for people who want to be in control (most of us, really), can be pretty rough to deal with. For me, I didn't feel much because so many of my interactions with others were so completely superficial and fleeting. Nowadays, there's still a bit of that, but as we progress we find people who we can talk to and open up to on a different level. I can't entirely define emotion, it's more complex than I'm capable of putting to words, but I like to think it evolves in us and has to grow, sometimes independently of our physical selves. Maybe you and I just grew up physically before we grew up emotionally, I don't know, but I'm definitely still shocked sometimes looking back at how I was such a short time ago (barely more than a year).
This rambled a lot and might've tried to tackle too much, but that's what I get for having started a philosophy class for the summer. :-P
