ALIEN - The Reacher & The Settler


April 1st, 2010

Try n bear with the length...



A wise man told me once a man and lady mix...
The relationship, in its own way is fixed
He explained that this is what I'd come to believe...
In each pair theres one who settles and one who will reach
The settler is one who lowered their standards probably...
And the reacher feels like they must've hit the lottery
But it bothered me because I know theres a catch to this...
Reaching a middle ground of an unspoken unhappiness
But how could this be? We were meant to be together...
But after thinkin it through, it made more sense to me than ever
~~~~~
Senior year, was basketball star, and king of the homecoming...
And in the eyes of everyone else, she was a nobody
As far as looks go, she wasn't as best as they come...
I'd give her a 7 n some, but her personality was second to none
And yet we'd become friends, so I thought I'd maybe try...
Cuz what I saw in her, noone else could with a naked eye
And so the relationship roller coaster ride had begun...
And I didn't care that what her and I had become was surprising to some
I showed her off like any other, everyone could see that it was working...
Did everything in my power to make it seem like she deserved me
She was happy, I was too, said it would be like this to the end...
And even though she made the effort, she didn't fit in with my friends
No big deal, she'd come to my games and support me every night...
I'd see her sittin on the bleachers by herself in the corner with a sign
I mean I liked it but I felt bad, even though it was a pleasure to see...
Couldn't help but feel like she was puttin in more effort that me
We'd go out and it was cool even when she got peeps from the fellas...
She was the one who reached for me, so I had no need to be jealous

Right?


I mean she wouldn't wanna go and do some stupid shit...
If I'm the best thing that happened to her, she wouldn't wanna ruin it
At this point, that couldn't stop the way I felt, I loved her...
But in the back of my mind I couldn't help but wonder
Girls would come up and flirt, say things, and mess their hair...
But why was it that she'd see it and still not ever care
It seemed like things were different, no more tedious yapping...
We'd sit together and it was obvious that we were clearly unhappy
~~~~~
My boy hit me on the phone, and we hardly ever speak...
Said he saw my girl a crazy drunk at a party with her peeps
I was reluctant but to me, this homie never jived me he was clean...
Guess that bacardi was her key to unlock a side I've never seen
It wasn't that I was against it, but I felt so badly embarrassed...
Cuz it was the morals and values I thought she had that I cherished
At that point, I knew I had to bite my tounge...
For now, because tomorrows conversation would turn into a violent one
Called her out the next day, no way this could all be true...
Oh and let me guess, you cheated on me too
I said it loudly and clear, just to get a rise...
And then my heart sank as she stayed speechless n couldn't look me in the eyes
What was this disguise, was I fooled by fuckin lies?
She buckled and murmered "just a couple times"
My throat closed, couldn't speak, I had given her all of me...
She looked at the floor and offered out a simple apology
It took my all to hold back tears, I stood dead in my place...
But for some reason, I heard myself still begging to stay
I had to grin and bear it, I didn't care if I was looking foolish...
Her only look in my eye came as she said she couldn't do it
~~~~~
So when she broke it off I forced a laugh and shrugged it quick...
But in reality, it took until now for me to come to grips
That wise man's quote finally showed me its worth...
But you can't know of the hurt, until you find out the roles were reversed
