The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Head Over Heels


How can I tell if you really care?
How can I know you'll always be there?
There've been so many times in the past
I've had relationships that didn't last.
I don't know if I can go through this again,
I'm not sure that it's worth all that pain.
I managed to keep all the others at bay.
I even found that I  liked it that way.
The freedom to do exactly as I choose,
there was no way I could possibly lose.
I called the shots, it was my show and
if you didn't like it , you knew where to go.
the last thing I wanted was to get involved,
but somehow in spite of my resolve,
you've gotten through, god only knows how.
so it doesn't matter what I do now.
I'm in love with you, like it or not.
All I can do is give it my best shot.

Isn't that just how things tend to play out? You've really captured this well, Julia. :) Gershon
