If the World were Ending
But if the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
And there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
Right?
If the World was Ending by Jonathan Percy Saxe / Julia Michaels
With the way that the world has been in the last 11 months, have you asked yourself any of these questions? Well, if you haven't, might be because you aren't single, so congrats. For those of us that are single, is there someone from your past that you would ever expect to come to your side to comfort you, if the world was ending? I can say, there really isn't anyone. They are from my past, and there is probably a reason, but I do have to say, I do love the song.
The idea that there is someone out there that might want to be with you, if the world was ending, in the most simple of ways is something that I think everyone wants. Those are the people we are all striving to find in our lives, right? I thought that last year might be the year that I put myself out there and go out on Friday/Saturday night to meet new guys or see what was available in the DFW area, but covid. It's frustrating, but also, we have now survived a pandemic, and maybe the guy that I'm supposed to meet needed that experience to be ready for me.
I've been the girl that has been hurt by pretty much all relationships, which no matter how much you remind yourself that it isn't you, you start to doubt that. There are things, now that I have passed 35, that I'm pretty set in my ways and finding the guy that is ok with that is really getting to be even more limited, but I do feel like the good outweighs the bad. Sleeping with a retainer, and this is probably a bigger story I will tell at a later date, is going to be a thing even in the cute "honeymoon phase" that many people usually have in their 20's because I paid A LOT of money for my teeth and I don't really want to pay any more than I have to so to not ruin the work I have had done, it just wont be a vanity thing for me.
Yup, I'm that girl, but I believe that if you can't handle that, you won't ever be able to handle some darker points that might exist. I'm not going to pretend that I'm perfect, at all, but also not going to tell all my faults. Someone will have to figure that out on their own.
I want to find that person that wants to be with me, but nothing has to be said. I have to find someone that doesn't mind watching the trash TV that I watch though they might not sit and watch it with me, they don't judge me for it. Find someone that can look at me and know exactly what I'm thinking, even if it is "get me out of here, and let's go home to curl up on the sofa and watch trash TV." However, if the world was ending, I want the person that does whatever they can to make it to me, to be together, to try to protect (and I don't have a Cinderella complex in needing to be rescued) to the best of their ability, or to just be my person. Someone that I don't have to ask over and over again, "right?" but actually already know where they stand; 100% sure that they would always be the right.
So what does that take? What have I been missing? Who do I have to look forward to?
