Flying High {Musical Mondays}

What is Musical Mondays? 

Musical Mondays is a weekly linky party where we share a song we're into for the week, and talk about why we like it-or why it effects us.  

This week's song:

Flying High
by Jem



You can't know, oh you can't know how much I think about you
No, it's making my head spin
Looking at you and you are looking at me and we both know what we want
Mmhmmm, so close to giving in


Feels so nice, oh yeah you feel so nice
Wish I could spend the night but I can't pay the price


[Chorus]
But I'm flying so high
High off the ground
When you're around
And I can feel your high
Rockin' me inside
It's too much to hide

I know, oh yes I know that we can't be together
But I just like to dream
It's so strange the way our paths have crossed
Mmhmmm, it's written in the stars it seems

Feels so nice, oh yeah you feel so nice
I'd love to spend the night but I can't pay the price

[Chorus]

Back to earth, where did you take me to?
I know there's no such thing as painless love
Well it will catch us up and we can never win

But Ooooh, I feel so alive
Oooohoooh, just wanna hold you
Hold you so tight

[Chorus x2]

This song came up on my playlist as I was driving home from Rocky's the other day.  I'd forgotten just how emotional this song is, especially when you start to relate to it.  It's sweet and indicates feeling amazing about falling in love, but it also indicates a touch of sadness to the whole thing-a sadness that could possibly be brought on by fear.  A fear I know all too well.

I know there's no such thing as painless love

Well it will catch us up and we can never win

I'm doing pretty well not letting that fear keep me from getting involved, and from feeling things-but I'm still scared.  I'm not the only one feeling that fear in this dating attempt, but I am the only I have control over-the only one I can be sure wont let it overwhelm me.  That is how it should be.  I can control only how I choose to feel and react, but I can't control the outcome, and I certainly can't control how he feels about me.  That is scary as hell.  It's hard not to be afraid of falling in love and getting hurt again, especially with so many of those examples littering my past.

Feels so nice, oh yeah you feel so nice

I'd love to spend the night but I can't pay the price

We're taking it slow, there is some healing on both ends that needs to be accomplished before certain steps can be taken, and that's okay.  Currently, I'm learning patience.  I have a feeling that if I wait it out and work on my own healing during that time, it could be something worth waiting for. Worth sticking by even though it's scary.
