dream and dreamer



So this song, with its pestering lyrics, was stuck in my head at work the other day--Am I in love with the dreamer, or am I just in love with the dream?

I'd like to believe I'd love the dreamer, the lover.

But it bothers me to think that what I hope to love is not someone but rather an idea, a dream, the idea of Love.

Is that love, to love Love?

If God defines love, the answer would be a no. Love and Everything didn't materialize into the broken existence of flesh and failure and then fling itself into fallen hands because Love loved the concept of love--Love didn't fall in love with itself but saw itself as nothing and Everything and someone as everything.

So do I love someone or just a dream?
