And tonight you'll try just one more time to leave it all behind and to break on through...
So much for breaking on through... so much for Anne. It seems, at this
juncture, that I have learned something new about dating: if you're in
awe of someone, for whatever reason (in my case it was her incredible skill with the bassoon... I'm a sucker for music. sue me.), stay the hell away. It's definitely a bad idea to pursue any sort of
romantic relationship.
See, it's like Paul Simon said, everything looks worse in black and white. They never match up to what you had imagined... what you had no legitimate reason to believe, but believed anyway. Imperfections display themselves. You get in arguments. You end up burning bridges.
...and no matter where you sleep tonight or how far you run...
And you end up wishing you hadn't burnt the bridges, you end up wishing you had just kept your distance and admired her from afar. Too late. I guess I had to try though... I just had this feeling that things would work out okay.
...whoa, she's the one.
