This Time Around...

I've been told that time heals all wounds... Which I definetly think is true... But I think there's more to it then that... I think that time gives you perspective... That is if you take proper advantage of it... And I think that I have for the most part... In time I have learned from my past... To not look at them as mistakes... But as experiences... So that I can make better decisions in the present and the future... And grow from them... Become a better person... I know what I want from a relationship... Granted I did settle the last time around... But to be honest I didn't realize that I was settling... So I can't hold it against him... Or myself... Instead I should learn from it... And appreciate that this time around I'm not going to settle... Make sure that I never settle again... On purpose or by accident... Because I didn't put myself through all that personal angst... To be with someone that's not emotionally available... Who's not gonna give me what I want from commitment... Not love me the way I want to be loved... Treat me the way I expect to be treated... And anyone that I'm with should want the same... Cause to me... That's what love is...
