Those Damn Heartstrings

"Lovers, I know you've had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
And tell 'em they're the only one.
And others, they know just
What I'm going through
And it's a-hard to be a lover
When you say you're only in it for fun."

Seems that ever time I pop in a CD, some song from way-back-when grabs hold of my heartstrings and jerks me nearly to tears. Those last two lines especially keep playing over and over in my head. In another time and another place, being in it just for fun, was well, fun - and safe - sorta. No commitments, no grief, but terribly lonely. 

Today, I know I deserve better, and that God is molding me for something very special.
