Your support makes Blue Moon possible (Patreon)I will never understand how someone can break up over the phone. Maybe it's just me. I watched a friend as it happened. I wanted to cry for her. She wouldn't do it herself. I hate watching that kind of thing. I just wish there was something I could have done for her to help her out. The one thing that was on the top of my list was taking the phone and screaming at the person on the other end of it. The typical 'How dare you do this to her. She loves you. Have you ever given a damn about her!?' kinda thing that my friends have done for me before. Then I realized, that would put me at a low point. It would make me a bad person. It's not like either of them wanted this to happen. It's not a fun choice to make. Trust me. I know. If you have been with someone for so many years, you don't want it to end. It's safe. It's something you are used to. You don't want it to end. But sometimes. It is meant to happen. You may not want it to. But it is the safest choice you have. I never like thinking about things like this.
But then I looked back on my own failed relationships. They all had one thing that I would never forget. Someone cried. In all except one, I had cried my eyes out when my friends weren't there. I let it all go. I cried. Not something very common for me. I realized in that moment that she would be ok. She would be upset for a bit. But she would get over it. She would find someone else and be happy again. And that was all I could hope.
When you look at your own relationship, what does it look like? It it imperfect? Is it messy? Good. If everyone had the happy little perfect relationships, we would all be lying to ourselves. The world is not perfect. And if we let ourselves buy into the "Happily Ever After" bullshit that is fed to us since we were children., we will be living nothing but lies. Fairy Tales don't exist. No one is perfect. We can only hope for the best. My favorite song tells the truth.
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
'cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
'cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love
'cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
I don't care
I don't care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause I don't want the next best thing
No no I don't want the next best thing
And it's the truth.
