You Can’t Always Get What You Want

I know what everyone is thinking… The Rolling Stones song.

(Well, yes.)

Yesterday, I was listening to this song and something clicked. It’s not so much that I never understood the lyrics or their meaning but… It made a connection into my mind that I wasn’t expecting.

(And it made me miss you…. Hell!)

I can’t “have” you (yeah, and you know I don’t believe in possession of any kind) but God, I want you so much! And it’s not that you don’t know this. You do.

But I want to set everything straight and say that I am happy with whatever outcome. I just want you to be free and have joy in your life and never settle. (Please don’t settle! You are a wild horse.)

I am perfectly fine with being a friend and carry you through the tough times. And perfectly confident about the fact that I am the odd one out. (And yes, I am a wild horse, too. Which is something I will not give up.)

I love you. But I can’t get what I want.

I guess I just have to wait for what I need, now…
