    I Will


    Writer, double-tracked lead vocal: Paul McCartney

    Who knows how long I’ve loved you
    You know I love you still
    Will I wait a lonely lifetime
    If you want me to–I will.


    For if I ever saw you
    I didn’t catch your name
    But it never really mattered
    I will always feel the same.


    Love you forever and forever
    Love you with all my heart
    Love you whenever we’re together
    Love you when we’re apart.


    And when at last I find you
    Your song will fill the air
    Sing it loud so I can hear you
    Make it easy to be near you
    For the things you do endear you to me
    You know I will
    I will.


    to you…


     


    Most people are thoroughly emotionally transparent. I think this is why I find reserved people so attractive. It seems more dignified to be mysteriously private about your affairs than to wear your heart on your sleeve. The subtly then of gesture gives the atmosphere of interaction with these mysterious people a very different feeling. Detached and formal yet ultimately symbolic and delicate. Esoteric, even.


     


    Different people do this in different ways. Sometimes I recall S. stretching backward so his shirt would pull up and how his head would lean forward when he did this so he would be looking up. It would put his hair in front of his eyes and his expression was just vague enough to be untouchably threatening in its sexiness.

    In contrast, B. would become suddenly uncomfortable in romanticly or sexually loaded situations. His gaze would also shift downward but mostly to frown as if quietly frustrated with his own temerity and awkwardness — though he was never awkward. He’d fidget and shift his eyes around as if momentarily distracted. Demure, I suppose.

  • Lovely post as usual. Thanks, Shy

  • interesting post…..bodily language is such a wonderful communication device…i love to watch people….to see how they move..how they act and react…..people are so incredibly interesting!

  • shy and the not so shy – the two poles and all those inbetween. I guess I am moody – I can never choose who i like better – sometimes the overtly obvious is nice because you know what is what – but then sometimes it gets pathetically obvious. i guess i am back to my ole theme – context is terribly important.

  • I’m not so sure. As a very open person myself, I tend to think that reserved people have something to hide, and I cannot tolerate that. It just seems suspicious, and it doesn’t allow me to trust them. To me, a person who’s not afraid to express themselves is so much more sexy because I’m not constantly trying to read between the lines.
