I Fell In Love Anyway

Sometimes the disappointments of the past can force up walls which prevent us from being open to the advances of another person. It really doesn’t matter what they say or do, or how “wonderful” they may appear to be–we’re just not interested. But ever so often, someone comes along and somehow manages to still grab a hold of our heart. I call those “anyway moments”–moments where you fight as hard as you can to keep those walls up, but they end up falling anyway. Can anyone relate? Brian McKnight can, and he explains as much in “Anyway,” this week’s Fly Lyrics Selection.
The Lyrics:
I have been through many disappointments and regrets
Never knowing yet, the joy of lasting love
Now I’m reaching for your hand
On the shore of happiness
Oh acquiesce
To you my dear, my love
Chorus:
You take my breath away
You’re everything I desire
I can’t stay away
I used to say never, but I’ll never say never again
Every night and day
Now I realize what can’t be denied
I never thought I’d fall, but I fell anyway
And I know that, I know that, I know that
I never thought I’d fall, but I fell anyway
You’re the perfect lover
And you are the perfect friend
Now all that’s ever been
We simply rose above
And as long as we don’t build our castle
On quicksand, we’ll experience and understand
The pleasure of lasting love
My heart’s on fire
Burning with a flame that will never die
There’s a voice inside
Saying don’t be afraid
Don’t compromise
Chorus

I can definitely feel this post. I got out of a 5 year relationship this past July. I have been in therapy and dealt (and still dealing) with the fallout from my old relationship. It was really difficult and I had really shut me self off emotionally from all men. I met someone In October and we have been spending serious time together…I am really happy but SO TERRIFIED at the same time. It’s a strange mix of emotions but I feel really blessed to have met someone special even if nothing really serious comes out of it….
A real ‘anyway moment’…Thanks flyguy. (i LOVE the site)
Dang, 3 new posts in the same day. Somebody has more free time?
lmao@what?
I was thinking the same thing!
I guess this is a late X-mas present from FG?
Who doesn’t love Brian McKnight? This song is great. And just like Roaring I’ve been dealing with the remnants of my long-term relationship, and the crap from loser dudes I’ve dated since. However, very recently I’ve met someone who is just busting through those walls I’ve built; he’s renewing my faith in love again…. it’s still all very new and I’m terrified dust will settle and I’ll be back to square one again, but I’m just trying to enjoy every minute of it right now, and hope that this is different… that he is different. So far he wows me every day. So we’ll see :)
lol…yall are funny..
anyway…been there…especially when you have made up in your mind that you are not dealing with the “foolishness” anymore and you are just going to do what you know is best. But that the the risk of love…by the way…the song is beautiful…
I am over here stuck in the middle…I want to leave and I want to stay…*sigh*
