'...I'm hooked and I am drowning.'
So for the past couple of days, I've been listening to my iPod on shuffle. Gets me around to the songs that I haven't listened to in a long time. It was pretty nostalgic, to tell you the truth.
I tried going to bed early last night, and like always, it didn't really get me anywhere. Gabe Bondoc's song 'One Touch' came up on shuffle, and I was listening to it for a bit, and I got to thinking about some things. The song talks about how easily a person can fall for someone just because of a single touch or a single look. In all reality, everyone wants to believe that's all it takes, but sometimes that belief turns into delusion. People think that the only way to lie is with your words, but that's not the case. I hear it all the time from so many of my friends: "...but he held my hand all the way there," or "I don't get it. She kissed me, though." It's harder to tell yourself that they lied when the natural belief is that words, not physical interaction, can give a person away. It's nothing we think about in the moment because we're too caught up in it at the time. So who's at fault here? Is it your fault for falling for something seemingly harmless, something that was never really intended to break you? Is it the other person's fault for feigning attraction and inadvertently getting your hopes up? Every situation is unique and different, so it truly is hard to make a definite call on who is to blame. In that instant, no one's really to blame. Why? Because at that very moment, it's all you really wanted, and there's no denying that it's all they wanted, too.
