"Ignorance is Bliss"

Cliche, corny, and still completely true. It feels so good when you feel something is true because you don't know all the details about it. You're oblivious and honestly, you rather not know the truth. Then curiousity hits you and you sort of search for things because there MUST BE something thats not quite right with something that feels so good. Yeah, you already know where I'm headed, friendships/relationships. Whatever you want to call yours. Anyway, you search for flaws or you convince yourself that something is wrong. You cannot be the only one or even of few. Even in searching you convince yourself that if you find something, you'll ignore it. And you do. For a while, it doesnt bother you. You don't want to seem jealous or like a stalker because you're not. You just know that things can't be as good as they seem. A lot of things you hear or are told have been told to other people. You're not the only one hearing sweet nothings, receiving warm embraces, and exchanging soft kisses with them. You're just not. Eventually, you just can't ignore it anymore. So you close up, whatever trust you had is lost. Nothing sounds the same to you and they know it. They feel it because you don't exactly hide it from them. That begining you had with them seems miles from where you are now. You knew this though. Before you began being wooed by their words or occasional actions, you were aware of the inevitable eye opener that was yet to come. There were countless times like these. Maybe this one was just a little more serious to you. Maybe that person made you feel something different for the moment, but they ALL end up like this. So like you've said a thousand times before, you give up. You know, though, that you'll fall back into habit again.
