Crashed (About Love Part Two)

The last post I had to make mention of my current situation. I'm over him, yes I am. And it's not because I've taken interest in someone new. I really am over him. I spent the last 4 months moving on. A few weeks ago I almost thought it wasn't dead (hence latching on to "It's not over" by Daughtry), but now I know for sure it is. There is no going back, no more question. I really do feel alright about it. It's not a "la la" feeling either. Yes I think about things and get a little sad, but really do know this is for the better.

So staying with the theme of using songs to express myself better, here's the other half of this new feeling and new beginning:

-----------------------------


"Crashed"

Well I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head-spinning, couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was going down.
Yeah, yeah.
Where I've been, well it's all a blur.
What I was looking for, I'm not sure.
Too late and didn't see it coming.
Yeah, yeah.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

Somehow, I couldn't stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn't hold on.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we're heading, there's just no knowing.
Yeah, yeah.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need.
And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
---------------------------------

Honestly, I'm scared to death. Just the thought of a new relationship absolutely terrifies me. On the plus side, I think this new person is feeling the same way. Since I really don't know anything about him other than he's a friend of a friend. The best friend of my best friend's husband. In a perfect world that would be nice, right? Maybe that's what scares me.....knowing "how perfect" this would all be. Or maybe my past record with relationships (aka train wrecks). Or maybe knowing I could fall for him and then one day he'd just be gone like the rest. Who knows.

Right now I'm just very interested in him, and want to get to know him better. Oh and if you wonder what happen to the "distraction" as mentioned in previous posts.....well he's still kinda here somewhere. I haven't seen him in awhile, which is good. I've completely lost interest in him. My mom put it perfectly - he's everything I hate. He really was too. Being a fun person to hang out with when I was lonely was about all I liked about him. Totally not relationship material, and I knew from the start it wasn't going anywhere. This new one though .... oh my, who knows where that will go. Scary yes, but exciting. As per the lyrics above: "
Where we're heading, there's just no knowing." So true! This song is just too perfect.

Over You (About Love - Part One)

I'm the type of person that latches on to a song and says "yeah, this is me right now". Up until yesterday, that song was Daughtry's "It's not over". I had it on my Myspace page, and it just fit everything pretty perfectly. There's several other good songs floating around right now that fit pretty good too, but I really like Daughtry.

Today I realized I needed to change the song. It didn't fit anymore, and I feel like today is just a brand new start. I flipped through some songs at MySpace, but couldn't find anything that really fit. Then I noticed my best friend had changed her song to another Daughtry song I didn't know. DUH. I hadn't checked their page for other songs. All be damned, I found a new song (different from my friend's even).

So here it is, this is what fits me perfectly right now.

"Over You"

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Yup this is what I feel like. I finally got my closure, the final word. It's done. 2 years of a relationship is over. But it's ok. I've spent the last 4 months trying to move on, even with things so open and me not having a flipping clue what was going on. Now I know, and now it's really over. And you know what? I really am ok! I'm over it! Crazy huh?
