His persistence is charmingly appalling, and even though you always know you'll say no to anything he asks of you, still can't help but humor his requests for a moment. He's the one you always say no to, even if deep down maybe you don't want to.
Everyone has one of these people in their lives, someone constantly on the hook; not necessarily always waiting for you but they're not going to shy away from an opportunity to be with you. This is best depicted in 'How I Met Your Mother' Hooked episode where main character, Ted Mosby is constantly on call it almost seems for this wonderful girl in his life, played by Carrie Underwood. Someone always has someone on the hook, waiting to be there for them. They are everywhere and nowhere at once it seems. Always there to slip in a little compliment or a playful dig, and you can't help but smile at every word they say.
I've had a few of these in my life, and to this day some of them are still waiting for me to break and fall hopelessly into their arms, but that's just not my style. Plus it's more fun to watch as we grow together and see how we turn into our own individuals and meet other people. Sometimes you stay the one that always got away in their minds, but at the end of the day it's probably best. No one wants to be picked last so even if I did pick you would it be right to even love you after everything? Would being second best in my life really be a place you want to reside in?
I think this is just a weird concept because in society everyone has a crush, it's inevitable, but by most standards we are told to keep those feelings to ourselves. We're taken back by the openness of their feelings, scared by their rawness. How else do you respond when someone boldly tells you they think you're beautiful, and not just because you have a nice outfit on, but because they think you're beautiful. It's one of the most bizarre occurrences truthfully, especially in today's society.
It's odd to know there is someone out there who sometimes thinks of you, wonders how your day is going, yet you don't wonder about them. It's so one sided it almost makes you wonder why they still hold on? And then you remember the one who left you on the hook, and how maybe you didn't go as far as some have gone for you but you certainly didn't always shy away either. And maybe just for a moment you finally understand, and think to yourself how did you do it?
Until you remember you didn't do it, you let them go and moved on...and begin to wonder if this person will do the same eventually? And you wonder why it bothers you? As human beings we love attention and are particularly vain even if we are good at hiding it we can't help it. We love the idea of being adored even if it's not by someone we always want.
Life's weird, people come and go; some for a lifetime, others for a moment. Maybe this person will always be there, but don't be surprised if one day they aren't. Because that's the even funnier thing about life, nothing is certain and nothing is guaranteed for tomorrow.
