Love & Shopping...

Love is like shopping...

When you go to the mall
with no intention of
buying anything,
you always do.
The perfect pair of shoes
pop out of nowhere, and
you can't believe you
never noticed them before.

Then there is the shirt that
every time you
go to the store it's at,
you go to the rack its always
on and spend the
next hour debating if
you should buy it or not.
By the time you decide
to buy it, someone else has
bought it and you always
wonder what would have
happened if you would
have bought that shirt.

When you have something
specific you need to buy
when going shopping,
you can never find it.
If you need a salmon-pink
shirt, for some reason
salmon-pink isn't in style
so no one is carrying it.

When you can't find the one
perfect piece of clothing,
you end up just buying
something you didn't want
that doesn't even look good on you
because you are so frustrated.
Then you always regret buying it
because you never wanted it
in the first place.

Then of course there is the
"shopping spree".
You go crazy going to
20 different stores
buying everything in sight.
Then feeling depressed after
because you have no money left.

Finally there is the
perfect shopping experience.
You go into the mall
looking for something that
will make you look great.
And you find it.
It looks amazing on you,
and you love it
more than anything.

One day I will have the
perfect shopping experience.
