Don't get me wrong. . .

Don't get me wrong If I'm looking kind of dazzled I see neon lights Whenever you walk by It's playing havoc with the tide If you say hello and I take a ride Upon a sea where the mystic moon Is playing havoc with the tide Don't get me wrong Are we so easily dazzled these days? Most of the time we stand on two opposite ends of the spectrum - you're either so super excited about something (or someone) or you have no reaction whatsoever (nothing, nada, zip. like some deadpan poker face nobody can crack). Why do we play it cool sometimes? Are we afraid that we let people see how much more they affect us than they want us to know? I remember those types of feelings, and have felt so overwhelmed that I didn't know what to do with it, didn't know how to deal with it. When the expectations were then thrust back in my direction, I would get nothing in return, no reciprocity, and just complete silence. Is this what it means for the tide to play havoc with us?

I just don't understand They say love is compromise Where does that leave us? When I look into your eyes you seem to care When you lead me to another place It isn't fair All these rules you make Where do you find yourself when making compromises in love? Being able to come to common ground takes time and patience. It takes the willingness to listen to each other, hear each other out and figure out the best way forward for each other. Do we take each other's feelings into account when it's needed most? If we continue to do things that hurt others, is this really how we show them we love them?

Sometimes we might get embroiled in some gossip that we didn't realise we were being subjected to, and don't really want to participate in. How do we help to deflect this when conversations can very easily slide into this? I guess it depends on your level of patience and how you are positioned - are you a sheep or a shepherd? Too often our actions are dictated by what we are meant to be in society. What are you prepared to save yourself for? Is there anybody worth saving yourself for? People can't wait for you to fail. Will you give them that satisfaction? If you don't lose the weight Then you're just fat But if you lose too much Then you're on crack ...
