Saving a sinking ship. Save the ship or its passengers?

Sometimes we cross certain lines with people.

Sometimes the line isn't so much the problem as the person you’re crossing it with.

Sometimes the crossing of the line with anyone is a problem. Period.

Sometimes its crossing a line that should not be crossed with a person you should cross no lines whatsoever with.

So draw these lines, and don’t cross them.

But what if you do, and with the wrong person.

Where do you go from there.

What if the world finds out? And judges you? Your nearest and dearest?

Sometimes you’re lucky. No one finds out.

But that doesn't change the fact that YOU know it happened?

How do you shut your mind from it?

Sometimes you tell yourself that all you need is recognition, that your partner in crime sees things the way you do. Feels the same way you do. Feels as strongly as you do. Wants it the same way you do.

But what if you don't get that recognition? What if that person just denies everything. Not feeling the same way you do? Not wanting the same thing you do?

I guess you just have to deal.

Sometimes he/she denies that you ever crossed the line. Pretending nothing of significance took place. That he/she doesn't even recall any of it?

How?

You know it happened. You believe it did. Were you wrong?

Probably wrong in choosing to cross the line, with that individual.

But that doesn't give us a solution- What to do?

Confront the person and risk him/her denying everything, and feel silly for having confronted him/her.

Or

Just let it boil up in you. Replay the scenes. Hope for things to work out?

I wish I could tell you to just get over it. Put it behind you.

But, this mind, this heart. Silly things. Doesn't listen to reason. 

Doesn't forget things.

So….

We drown, and drown, and drown…

Until, we let go.

Love.
