Reflections while listening to "Still" by the Commodores

Why is it that sometimes we cannot stop thinking about someone? Even if they hurt you and cannot allow you to heal, sometimes you just want to forget about them but the mind stays fixed. How can the soul carry on? Why does the heart scream so incessantly?

A betrayal bred from logical confusion that nontheless was a betrayal of trust. I can't blame her too much. But to betray his to choose a course based on a reason, and to withhold motive indicates a hidden guilt. I fear the source of that guilt as something that would make me lose any respect left, and in fact make me deplore the person. It is speculation but the only possibility that i can see.

'Accept me as I am' she said. But what if who you have become hurts me? The rollercoaster tug-of-war strains my heart strings to the breaking point. I want to get off the ride because it makes me sick.

Lady,
Morning's just a moment away
And I'm without you once again
You laughed at me
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now

We played the games that people play
We made mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me

Remembering the pain, if I may say,
It’s deep in mind and locked away
But then most of all
- I Do Love You - Still...

Those memories,
times I’m sure we’ll never forget
Those feelings we can’t put aside

For what we had
Sometimes I try to understand
But it’s so heavy on my mind

So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?

We lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
- I Do Love You - Still...

We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me 'Cause I needed you so desperately!
We were too blind to see

But then most of all
- I Do Love You - Still...
