IF YOU FALL IN LOVE TOO EASILY
YOU'RE NOT THE MARRYING KIND
FALL HARD AND FAST AND IT WON'T LAST
LEAVE ALL THAT NONSENSE BEHIND
YOU MAY BE IN LOVE WITH BEING IN LOVE
BUT NOT KNOW LOVE ITSELF
IT MAY BE INFATUATION
JUST IN YOUR IMAGINATION
THINKING THEY ARE THE PERFECT MATCH
WHEN IN FACT THERE MAY BE A CATCH
THE SIMPLE POSSIBILITY
SOMETIMES LOVE IS NOT MEANT TO BE
TOO MANY FAIRY TALES IN YOUR HEAD
MAY INDEED LEAVE YOU MISLEAD
DON'T BELIEVE ALL THAT YOU'VE READ
MAKE UP YOUR OWN STORY INSTEAD
Author's Notes/Comments:
I LISTENED TO FIFTY FAMOUS FAIRY TALES ON AUDIBLE PRETTY RECENTLY...MOST I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE BUT I NOTICED A COMMON THREAD AMONG THEM ALL ENDING WITH BEING MARRIED AND LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER AS IF THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES A HAPPY ENDING WHEN IN FACT IT IS OFTEN QUITE THE OPPOSITE...I GUESS AT THE TIME THOSE FAIRY TALES WERE WRITTEN MARRIAGE WAS SACRED AND YOU NEVER HEARD THE WORD DIVORCE...IT DIDN'T EVEN EXIST...THESE DAYS OF MULTIPLE MARRIAGES EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT ALL THE TIME AND NEVER WORKING ON ANY PROBLEMS JUST THROWING IT AWAY AND RUSHING INTO ANOTHER ONE HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT ENDING...WE LIVE IN A THROWAWAY SOCIETY. EVERYONE SEEMS TO EXPECT PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES AND PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS WHEN JUST BEING HUMAN MAKES US ALL IMPERFECT...I DUNNO...ANYWAY THOSE WERE SOME THOUGHTS WHILE WRITING THIS.
