| Extreme – More Than Words Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Every time I hear this song I think of a long-lost love of mine from 17 years ago! We had been dating for around five months or so and despite my strong feelings for him, I was worried that he didn't feel the same way (long story). I was trying so hard not to be all the things that I was that were detrimental in my former relationship: jealous, paranoid, possessive etc. that I was literally scared to death to tell this man that I love(d) him--yet I did. So, this song comes up on his TV one evening as we were sitting in his LR. He didn't turn the station and so this uncertain part of myself took this to mean that there was this possibility that he felt the same way about me too, that in his past as in mine, he'd heard the words too much but needed the actions that go along with them. Something happened over the next couple of months after that night and we ended up not seeing each other again. It was very painful for me. I didn't want to 'beg' so to speak. I wrote him a letter asking him to explain why he dropped off the face of the earth and never called me again but I never heard back. Needless to say, I can still get myself going about this even now when I'm in certain frames of mine. So, when I hear this song, I will always think of this person and how I didn't show him nearly enough how much he meant to me, that I loved him. Those reading this, don't let fear rule you. Do as the song says--act out the words and then say them when you are both ready and able to hear them. | |
