"For Your Eyes Only" - Sheena Easton
It was 2:00A. I just finished watching David Tutera's My Fair Wedding. I vowed never to watch another wedding show. I vowed to continue going to bed at a decent hour. But there I was so I figured it was late, I might as well break more rules while I'm at it. The bride had an awesome theme, one that I can relate to very much; one that I would've considered myself if it wasn't already done for me 2-years ago: Alice in Wonderland. All in all, David actually pulled it off with class and at the same time, keeping what meant everything to the bride in tact. It wasn't perfect, but it was perfect for them.
So, why am I writing about this using this song? Don't get crazy. This is by far, NOT in the cards for me. Hell, I have no groom. What got to me wasn't the whole wedding thing or the crying bride every time David would surprise her. I don't get teary-eyed over this stuff. It never mattered before because honestly, I don't believe in the whole marriage thing. But something hit me when the bride said she was marrying her best friend and how things don't always end up as planned. This couple started off as friends. Their attraction grew over time. It just hit me because I never got a chance to do that with mine. I never got a chance to truly be FRIENDS when I was in a long-term relationship.
I wonder if that's why it died so soon when things fell apart? There wasn't anything else to keep alive if we no longer loved each other enough to make it work the way we planned. We didn't know how to be anything else besides "together," because that's all we knew. It trips me out to think that the men in my life, the ones that knew some of my deepest secrets and idiosyncrasies, the ones I thought I knew like the back of my hand, the ones I gave my everything to within the moment of loving them more than myself... It trips me out to think that they're no longer in my life and that they no longer should matter. It's just over and we're supposed to be ok with that.
It seems like so much of yourself is put into something with such uncertainty when you fall in love too fast. But some still do it. They go for it because right then, they feel like nothing can stop them. Nothing will hurt them. Their love will go against all odds. And all the cliches in the book come tumbling out. It seems like being friends is the way to start; to build a foundation that won't fall down so hard. I guess I refuse to learn my lesson. I want the lust. I want the tingly sensation. I want the chase. I want the fight. I want the drama and the butterflies. I want to tumble.
Lyrics:
For your eyes only, can see me through the night.
For your eyes only I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new.
I never felt until I looked at you.
For your eyes only, only for you.
You'll see what no-one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you, only for you.
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold.
You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine.
But you won't need to read between the lines.
For your eyes only, only for you.
You see what no-one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me.
Only for you, for your eyes only.
