I’m listening to an old love song where a guy is singing
\nabout how he \u201ccan\u2019t fight this feeling\u201d about falling in love.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m thinking just go for it Man. Tell her you love her,
\nfor God\u2019s sake. Don\u2019t be a damn wuss.<\/p>\n
Then I have a reversal of my thinking. Maybe
\nthis guy is just off a relationship where a woman
\ncrushed his heart to pieces and he is gun shy
\nabout jumping into what could be another train wreck.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m feeling empathy about his hesitation, and, maybe,
\nI\u2019ve been there, though I cannot recall if I have.<\/p>\n
But as I listen to the song further along, I can see
\nhe\u2019s already lost the battle to safeguard his heart
\njust by the fact that he has to make a big deal
\nout of his denial for a good three minutes in a song.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m back to the starting point of just telling him
\nto get on with it and tell her what she already knows.<\/p>\n
