On 'lips of an angel'

This song offends me. It touches a nerve. The radio stations won't stop playing it and I can't stop listening. Turning it up and singing along. This is why ex's creep me out.

LIPS OF AN ANGEL - Hinder
Honey why you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why you crying is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I,
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

The whole world of infidelity is a dark place I never want to visit. The reality has slapped me upside my head a few too many times tho. Thought I would always be able to say 'not me' but sticky situations are not always easy to avoid. Doesn't make it right. Still haven't done it, but the temptation has been real. This song gets under my skin.

On a stream of conciousness ..

After much delay and some contemplation, the Chief finally came over. He had a bottle of chardonnay in his hand.. chilled. It was 5:07 in the afternoon. He poured. I was so nervous I could barely sit still. He talked. Did I ever mention how smooth he is? And how fine? Some things are nice from far but far from nice.. but this man sitting before me was simply beautiful. Simply. Beautiful. He asked me questions about myself. He was alot more laid back and friendly. I heard myself laughing and I felt my muscles relax..
He stood to leave. It was 9:45. Suddenly I didn't want him to go. He put out his arm to hug me. I smiled in his embrace. He kissed me with conviction. He tasted perfect. His palms were on my shoulder blades. He stepped away and sat down. He started talking again, this time more shaky. He asked if I remembered the day he dropped his speech. I smiled. We talked. We kissed. I told him that this could not work for me. Then he left.
We started meeting every afternoon. More talking. More kissing. He started planning 'dates'. I resisted him but I was there, every evening. He wanted to take me all over the world. I just wanted to go for dinner down the street. 'This relationship is not for me'. 'This relationship is NOT for me.' He listened, he rationalised, he structured his offer. No pretences. Straight up. The Alpha indeed. 'How about Barbados? We all have to go for work, you can stay back for the weekend.'
He called again, just as I hung up with the now postponed BJ. I felt vex and slighted. His charms fed my bruised ego. 'I'm gonna pack, talk to you in the morning' As I closed my suitcase, I stopped thinking about it, I stopped feeling guilty. The tournament went well, I saw him at the opening ceremony but my team was busy working the next few days. When our part was done, the bus came to take us to the airport. I stared at my mobile in my hands the whole trip. BJ wandered in and out of my mind. I stood on the pavement outside the terminal watching people go in. His priority ring knocked me from my daze.
'Where are you?' 'At the airport' 'Good, I will send a car for you right now' 'Ah.. no I don't think I want that..' 'Okay, I will come for you myself. Give me 5..' ' This relationship is not for me' 'Okay, I hear you, Spice' click.

On being disgruntled..

Soo.. BJ booked a ticket to come visit. I was overjoyed despite my reservations.. Then he calls me to say 'Sorry babe.. it doesnt look possible for this weekend again..' He gave me a reasonable sounding excuse due to family committments. He even suggested another time [like a month away] based on both our schedules. I am disgruntled. [Always wanted an excuse to use that word] ... was that manspeak for 'I've changed my mind, I don't think this is a good idea anymore..'??

On out of sight, out of mind..

I won't even pretend to be philosophical.. simple question:
Does absence really make the heart grow fonder? Is out of sight really out of mind?
I read somewhere that relationships are never still, they are either growing closer or apart. What if they are put on hold for awhile? What happens then?
