Don'T Force It
I am the kind of person
That I don't let anyone in
But once you are in
You are in for life
So what kinds of person I will let in?
All kinds
What do you have to do?
You don't have to do anything
Just be yourself and be you
It does not matter what you did
or what you have to do to convince me
Usually it does not even depend on you
Who does it depend?
Me and I can't even control it
Once you are in, you are in
There was this one lady
- the head of my organization
I could never let her get to me
No matter what she tried
Or I tried
I could never get warmed up to her
But one day I realized she is in
What did she do?
Who knows?
All I know is that she talks to me as usual
And I talk to her when I need something
So what caused it and why this sudden change?
Who knows?
My point is you can never make someone like you
Just go about your business
And if they warm up to you
That's fine and dandy
But don't give up
You can be a friend to anybody
But until they consider you as "in"
You mean nothing to them
Is it cruel?
I am just telling you the hard truth
It's hard to be in with anybody
Because you usually don't even know what causes it
It just happens
It could be something you say
something you do
a look
a gesture
whatever
You cannot control it
And when you are in
The feeling is mutual
Because that is the way God made it
It goes for all friendships
Platonic or crazily love
Ahh you do need to be in to consider yourself in love
Because if you don't consider that person as in
there is just no way you can be in love
You can be dreaming?
Haha
Oh yeah
That's a nice dream too
But don't force it okay?
And don't worry
It just comes
