Pretty Words
Hello Romantics and Swooners alike,
It was always you. Such a pretty sentence. It implies that no matter what you and whoever is saying it were always supposed to be together. Such a pretty sentiment.
But to me it always sounds like an answer someone gives to convince another they should be forgiven for a mistake.
A cheater convinces their spouse that the other person was a mistake and that It was always their spouse they truly loved.
An abuser tricks the person he is hurting it was always them who mean the world for them.
These example are just examples but it's about context. Pretty words and lovely to hear but why, why is the person saying them? What is the situation they are saying them in.
This sentence is a wonder to hear from someone you know loves you, to hear it as a ow during a wedding or just a soft moment shared between those who love each other. It is not a save all, it is not a fix all. Words can move a wonderful relation forward but it does not fix it if ones actions betray that relationship.
Why am I saying all this? Because though it is fun to be a romantic and to hear pretty words, never forget that ones actions mean more in the scheme of things. Poetry and whispering in ones ear can sweeten a moment but it does not justify a horror, a betrayal or a lie. Watch as much as you listen, enjoy those words but don't allow them to be a bandaid or an excuse if that person truly betrays your trust. Yes one can forgive most anything but you need to be okay with choosing that road and need to question whether the other person means it.
So listen and look, Think.
Talk to you lovelies later,
Eros
