THE ONLY EXCEPTION

If you a person who is skeptical in love, you'd appreciate this song. You wish that there's that one person who is the only exception, the one who can bring you that happiness that you've wished for and longed for.

I love this song the moment I heard it. It's the only famous Paramore song that I enjoy and actually can say I love.

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart as I watched

As he try to reassemble it

My momma swore she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promise

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

I've seen many people broke up and hurt themselves as they try to get back on track and find that person worth loving again. I am too fragile to have my heart broken like that and perhaps that's why I never try to get into relationships.

Darling
You are the only exception...

Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul that love never lasts
We gotta find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keep a comfortable distance
And up until now
I have sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

This verse perfectly describe how I see relationships and love. I admit that I never believe that love lasts, maybe because I have seen and experience what it's like to see people around me change and I realized that I also change.

Nothing lasts. Happy moments are only as good as it gets for now but in future, it might be lost and what is left are only memories of what we once have. At the rate that feelings and emotions change, I really am starting to believe more and more that nothing lasts - not friendship and not love.

It has always made me feel sad that things have to change...and I guess that's why I never took the leap of faith in love. I try to force myself to believe that perhaps being single and alone is OK, I should be contented although there were times of loneliness in which I wished that there were someone.

But then, I'm too worried of getting hurt. If there's someone out there, I can only hope that I'd take that leap and believe again...someone who's the only exception I guess.

You are the only exception...
Ohhhhh

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you are leaving in the morning
When you wake up
Leave me with some kinda proof that it's not a dream...

You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing...

For now, I shall just leave you with this lovely expression of love. One that touches my heart, especially when Rachel sang it to Finn in the last scene of Episode 2 in Glee.

I wish that one day I could find my only exception.

Fast forward to 2015, and I am looking at this post again almost five years later. It is funny that I am still the same person I was back then in 2010 but today, I might have just found my only exception, that could make me start believing. That is if he feels the same way.
