"I love youIs all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you
I love you
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I'd told you the right words
At the right time
You'd be mine..."
There was a period of time when I believed these lyrics, wholeheartedly. Work an "I love you" in edgewise, especially when the tension is high, and maybe (just maybe) it would work. It never did.
Tried the whole "visualization" thing. Pictured it already having occurred. Send lots of love, happiness, and gratefulness to the vision, and it would be mine.
Obviously, I wouldn't be writing this if it had worked.
Why do we humans cling to notions? Believe in superstitions, perform those little 'rituals' so our luck won't change? Maybe it's Friday the 13th talking, maybe it's the voice of reason. One thing I know for sure is that our future will always be there - tomorrow.
Ironically, I made a joke to a friend the other day about how Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker's character on Sex in the City) ruined the modern girl's tragic ending in a relationship. And SJP played Annie, who sang "Tomorrow", of course. But her Carrie Bradshaw eventually got the man, her dream, and all that went with it just when all hope seemed gone.
Bitch.
Having said that, though, she also had a really great line once: "We only obsess over relationships we feel are unfinished."
Ain't THAT the truth?
