Interesting =)

I do not care what car you drive. Where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this years cutting edge. If you are A- list or B-list or never-heard-of-you list. If your trust fund is unlimited. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones or skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.

-Andre Jordan

I saw this today and it took me for a moment, and then another. I felt something vague and yet I did not know what to think or feel. My mind savored the last sentence over again, and then once more; then the frame which held it, which so accentuated its beauty seemed to lock it into place.

I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.

Read it again. Mouth the words. Taste it on your tongue. Voice it. And I fail to imagine them. The work of any artist takes centerstage. It divests itself from the individual. Is this how it should be? Is this what an artist wishes to achieve?

My mind rebelled against these thoughts. I could not bear to imagine these beautiful lines in this light. Yet when I read the last line again it seemed so dependent on those lines before it. It is not the irony which pierces me, but rather the finality of that beautiful line which takes me.

At least it did not read:

I will never fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.

If ever there was a beautiful way to die, it must be how that last line goes. Can you see the words fluttering as it kills you?
self
future negative
[fall in] love
rejection reversal
words [flutter]
others special
mind

Oh, how I am misreading those lines, am I? In a sense. I choose to interpret it so for you, my dear readers. For I too desire my loves to be more than words.

[May you pause to read my last line again and choose=]
