Freedom to Choose [Love]

So, this will definitely be a subject much visited and re-visited because there are so many aspects. We’ll talk about cheating for this episode. Why do people do it? There are many excuses, from a lack of attention to “it just happened”, are we really to buy into any of them? At the end of the day, cheaters make a CHOICE. You all have the freedom to choose the power of love over lust and remain faithful to the one you pledged your heart to. If it’s not there anymore, why not simply leave them?
It’s a decision to make no doubt, especially when you know what you’re giving up but not so sure about what you’ll be getting. It’s only human nature to hold on to what you know while you try different things out. The point is, however, that it’s not fair. You should never put your partner through something like that. I have a friend who’s life is like a really sad, super tearjerker TRAGEDY- and it all started with infidelity and ended with suicide. So when you meet that new man or woman that piques your interest, think about this: what is it really worth? Why are you so interested? What are you pursuing?
I know people are huge fans of platonic friendships between men and women, but let’s not forget this is where it starts. You form a bond, you get close, you call each other when things are good and bad, then one day “it just happened”. It didn’t “just happen”: you fed it, nurtured it for however long and THEN the bond became irresistable. You have a Freedom to Choose who you love, but with it comes a responsibility that their happiness is intertwined with yours. Be as careful with their hearts as you want someone to be with yours.

What If?
What right do you have to show up again?
After all this time I’d put you far from my mind
That traitorous place that never does as it’s told
But always has something to say ‘bout the new and the old
Battling this weather storm that’s far from its place
Putting me in positions that drive me insane
In turmoil over this random thought pattern
This self-inflicted divisive contemplation
Serving no purpose but mental manipulation
The situation does not exist and yet there it is
Unfeasible probabilities not plausible in physics
My creative juices begin to flow as it works the possibilities
Yet knowing from the jump there are critical inconsistencies
Like the fact that she is in love with another
And the knowledge he’s shown no interest in getting under the covers
All these things to a rational mind are worthy to consider
And put your mind right, forget about getting closer
Unfortunately she’s off again headed down a new dead end path
Causing me much heartache as she continues to wonder…
What-If?
