Girls

I have been thinking about the Secret Garden song. The secret garden where I won't let you - for me - is having to 'verbalise feelings'. I have realised this on different occasions in my life. You can ask me anything and I will answer truthfully (facts of any sort) but don't make me talk about how I feel. So in the song whereever everything will stay a million miles away - it's just that. The bit where you cannot go - but it's not said outloud, it remains untouched. But all served up with a smile indeed...

But I think that not all libras actually REALISE that they do keep people out.

It's a vulnerability thing, afraid of being ridiculed, afraid of not being loved in return. Even now, when I send out an email I go to the 50/50 line but not beyond. I would love to but am terrified of what I might receive back.

If we let you down gently by making you the one to let go of us because you are getting so tired of not hearing from us or not receiving any clarity, I think we do this for ourselves as well. I let myself down gently by showing a little bit of how I feel but not all, so that you can break my heart a little bit but not completely.

It's like this:

If I said 'I love you' and you did not reciprocate you'd have to respond with 'I don't love you'. If I said 'I like you' you'd have to say 'You don't know me'. If I said 'Want to go for a coffee?' you'd say 'I don't have time'.

I can deduce from the coffee line just as much as from the love line. So it's safer to go with the coffee line.

gotcha!

She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides

She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice

You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget

She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

The song is by Bruce Springsteen, a Libra (very cuspy with Virgo), 23rd Sept, I think.

Which is why it is so fitting.
