Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in theribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped afterI started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

THE SEMANTICS OF "I LOVE YOU"...
"I love you" [is] a statement that can be expressed in so many varied ways. It may be a stage song, repeated daily without a meaning,or barely an audible murmer, full of surrender.
Sometimes it means: I desire you or I want you sexually. It may mean: I hope you love me or I hope that I will be able to love you. Often it means: it may be that a relationship can develop between us or even I hate you. Often it is a wish for emotional exchange: I want your admiration in exchange for mine or I give my love in exchange for some passion or I want to feel cozy and at home with you or I admire some of your qualities.
A declaration of love is mostly a request: I desire you or I want you to gratify me, I want your protection or I want to be intimate with your I want to exploit your loveliness. Sometimes it is the need for security and tenderness, for parental treatment. It may mean: My self-love goes out to you. But it may also express submissiveness: Please take me as I am, or I feel guilty about you, I want, through you, to correct the mistakes I have made in human relations.
It may be self-sacrifice and a masochistic wish for dependency. However, it may also be a full affirmation of the other,taking the responsibility for mutual exchange of feelings.
It may be a weak feeling of friendliness, it may be the scarcely even whispered expression of ecstasy.
"I love you," --wish, desire, submission,conquest; it is never the word itself that tells the real meaning here.

Weekend In England
Last night, I said goodbye
Now it seems year
I'm back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me
holding you
Bringing us near
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again
Time, in New England
Took me away
To long rocky beaches --and you,
by the bay
We started a story
Whose ende must now wait
And, tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when
Will I hold you again
I feel the change comin'
I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring!
I feel my blood flow
With you I can bring out
All the love, that I have
With you there's a heaven
So earth ain't so bad
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again
Now it seems year
I'm back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me
holding you
Bringing us near
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again
Time, in New England
Took me away
To long rocky beaches --and you,
by the bay
We started a story
Whose ende must now wait
And, tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when
Will I hold you again
I feel the change comin'
I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring!
I feel my blood flow
With you I can bring out
All the love, that I have
With you there's a heaven
So earth ain't so bad
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this strong yearning end
And when Will I hold you again
