I Said Leave...


Isn't it true though? Isn't this always true?  My cute friend made this picture from a Taylor Swift song and I'm just realizing more and more how real this dumb little lyric line is in my life.  

Two boys.  Two wonderful, amazing, perfect men that I fell so in love with.  Not an ideal situation and I've had so many people tell me it's impossible.  But they are wrong.  Think what you will, but they are wrong.  

I've had experiences with this lyric line with both boys now.  Both boys and it has been such a different experience for both.  What do I do now?  What do I do when the outcome is completely opposite from what I expected?  From what everyone expected?  How can it really be this hard and painful?

Everyone wants that person who will go to the ends of the earth for them.  Who will fight through any battle and be the prince charming who rescues them.  I think every girl needs this experience, it's what really makes the princess fall in love, right?

One boy fights, one boy falls.  One boy does anything he can to be there, to be the person I turn to.  The other backs away and finds other priorities.  One falls in love deeper and stronger with every minute away and the other falls farther and more distant with each passing second.  But what do I do when everyone else around me tells me the one who has fought is the wrong one? 

Everyone thinks they know so well.  Everyone thinks they know the right thing.  Everyone tells me, do this/do that/go here/say that.  Has anyone stopped to think that maybe they are wrong?  

Maybe it's okay to move on.  Maybe moving on and taking a risk is what will bring such greatness.  Maybe all those what if's will disappear and turn into I was so right.
