For Once...?

I've written about distractions before. And normally they're a really good thing because they're not that serious and they help you get over someone or something that you really need to get over. But what happens if you fall for the distraction more than you planned to and then that distraction becomes the new problem, not just a distraction any more and you need a new distraction because the first distraction(which is now the problem) is starting to get as unbearable as the last problem?

Does that make any sense?

My family are so overprotective though and it worries me sometimes. I'd never settled down with anyone in fear of how my brothers will react and treat him. Should I care more about keeping them happy, or about being happy myself?

For once, I wished for myself. It won't work. It never did. But for once, just once, I'd like for something good to happen for me so that I can be happy for myself, not just for everyone else.
If it made someone else unhappy then I wouldn't want it. I just don't think anyone would mind, people might actually even be happy for me for once.
I don't ask for much. I hardly ask for anything. But please, just this once, let it be me. Although I don't know why it would be me, please let it be?

"I'm lucky, I smile a lot, but sometimes I wish for more than I've got, what about me? It isn't fair, I've had enough now I want my share. Can't you? I wanna live, but you just take more than you give."

I love all my friends, but is it bad that I'm be scared to introduce my guy to them all because I'd be worried he'd like them more than he likes me? I've got to find a lad first - maybe I've found one. But I'm convinced that it's just a waste of my time and affection as he likes someone else - someone else who I'm close with - but I can't drop it. I never can drop it. I don't drop it because I think maybe one day my perserverence and emotion will get me where I want to be - with who I want to be with. "It's got to happen, happen sometime. Maybe this time I'll win." Surely it has got to happen sometime? I don't want to wait forever to find what I'm dreaming of.
I think I might still be waiting for a long time yet. Maybe I'll have a nice surprise. Oh, I hope I do get a nice surprise.

Please. For once?
