Turn down the lights, turn down the bed / Turn down these voices inside my head / Lay down with me, tell me no lies / Just hold me close, don’t patronize / Don’t patronize me / ‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t / You can’t make your heart feel somethin’ it won’t Here in the dark, in these final hours / I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power / But you won’t, no you won’t (Make you love me by Bonnie Raitt.)
Sometimes you just can’t help yourself. Sometimes you fall. Sometimes that fall is harder and further than ever before, and you don’t know what to do with it. You don’t know why it keeps coming back, but it does. They have given you every indication that they are not for you. But you both ignore it somehow. You keep going. You keep living. Keep letting time pass, and you let that small bit of hope stay alive in you, because it has worked for others. It has survived oceans and time before.
