The trouble with love is it can tear you up inside, make your heart believe a lie. It’s stronger than your pride. The trouble with love is it doesn’t care how fast you fall, and you can’t refuse the call. See, you’ve got no say at all.
I finally got the communication from him that I wanted…. And it’s a bad thing. He’s never had anyone there for him his entire life and now he won’t even let me in because of it. I’ve gotten further in than anyone before, but then he just starts pushing me away. When we finally get to talk, have a serious conversation, it may be the end of us. Maybe it’s for the better. Maybe not. But if you love something, let it go, and if it’s meant to be, you’ll find it again. I’m not as happy as I could be at this point in my life. I had a friend move to California for a few months, and it really helped him to just get away. Well, when I get the money, my mom and I are moving to Alabama. The Gulf of Mexico. Even if I end up not liking it, I feel I need it. I want to at least just go and see if I like it, and not have to wonder ‘what if’ for the rest of my life. Well anyway, when we met, we were inseparable. We stayed up all night every night talking. About anything and everything. Now we never say hardly two words to each other. We don’t talk serious much. Never really have. We were just fun together. We worked together. Then it got serious. Then I fell. He fell. And he can’t deal with his emotions or show them very well…. We’ve only had serious talks a few times. Well now the last one may be just that…. The last one.

People say she’s only in my head. It’s gonna take time but I’ll forget. They say I need to get on with my life. But they don’t realize, when you’re dialing six numbers just to hang up the phone, driving across town just to see if she’s home, waking a friend in the dead of night just to hear him say ‘it’s gonna be alright’, when you find the things to do not to fall asleep coz you know she’ll be there in your dreams, that’s when she’s more than a memory. I took a match to everything she ever wrote, watched her words go up in smoke. Tore all her pictures off the wall, but that ain’t helping me at all. Coz when you’re talking out loud but nobody’s there, you look like hell and just don’t care, drinking more than you ever drank, sinking down lower than you ever sank. When you find yourself falling down upon your knees, praying to God, begging him please, that’s when she’s more than a memory.

"More than a memory". That’s what I want to be to him, but I don’t know that I’ve been able to make that kind of impact on him. I’d like to think so….. I’m not sure why…. But that’s just what I wanna be. So who says communication is always a good thing? Maybe it’s good to have the emotions of a robot sometimes. Though I do feel, had we had great communication about everything the whole time, we wouldn’t be where we are today. But I’ve tried so hard to make it work…. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. I can’t stay with a robot forever….
Garth Brooks – "The Dance"
Looking back on the memory of the dance we shared beneath the stars above. For a moment, all the world was right. How could I have known that you’d ever say ‘goodbye’. And now I’m glad I didn’t know the way it all would end the way it all would go. Our lives are better left to chance. I could’ve missed the pain but I’d have had to miss the dance. Holding you, I held everything. For a moment, wasn’t I the king? But if I’d only known how the king would fall, hey who’s to say, you know I might have changed it all. And now I’m glad I didn’t know the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I’d have had to miss the dance. Yes my life, its better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I’d have had to miss the dance.
