The Only Choice

As I was searching for a picture quote to describe the way I've been feeling lately, this one caught my attention. Now, I'm not at a place in my life where I'm ready to commit to someone forever, but that doesn't mean that I'm not ready to commit. We go through high school and even college wanting someone to spend time with and have fun with, but what I'm finding recently is that I really do want that person that I might be able to spend my life with. That's the funny thing - when you find someone who nearly fits that bill, you realize that it's possible - that person is out there!

But sometimes the heartache and the waiting take their toll. And doubt creeps in - that ever spreading doubt that brings you down and tries to make you believe that none of your dreams will come true and you will be alone forever. And fighting that doubt is far easier said than done. But as an elf once told me, "Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing" (The Santa Claus) - just because you can't see the end result, doesn't mean that it isn't there.

Because in the end, even if I would never make them choose, the right person (in the right timing) will choose me. And they won't choose me because they have no better options - they will choose me because even if they have other options, I would still be the only right choice. Just because I'm ready to make some commitment to this mystery person - doesn't mean that I've even met them yet, and all I can do is to just hold on through the heartache and the waiting - and know that at the end of the tunnel is some country boy who will be everything that I ever dreamed he would be - and more.

"I'm not surprised, not everything lasts

I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track

Talk myself in, I talk myself out

I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it

I came up with a million excuses

I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out

You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out

And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get

I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait, I'll never give up

I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck

Wherever you are, whenever it's right

You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing

And, baby, your love is gonna change me

And now I can see every possibility

And somehow I know that it'll all turn out

You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out

And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get

I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair

In love and war

But I won't need to fight it

We'll get it right and we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing

And being in your life is gonna change me

And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out

And I'll work to work it out

Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get

Than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh, you know it'll all turn out

And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out

And I promise you kid to give so much more than I get

Yeah, I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet

Oh, promise you, kid

To give so much more than I get

I said love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

(I just haven't met you yet)

Love, love, love, love

Love, love

I just haven't met you yet."
