“All Good Things (Come To An End)
“Honestly what will become of me
don’t like reality
It’s way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don’t see
Missed everything daydreaming [Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I’ll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don’t cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day ’til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

I’m wondering if we are living too long now to be with one person. I say this because a friend reminded me the other day that humans use to only live until their 30s and it was no big deal to be with someone for 10-20 years because that was your lifetime. Now we are living until our 80s, 90s and that means if we are married sometime in our 20s or 30s then we would theoretically be with one person for more than 50 years! That’s a helluva long time to be with one person. On top of that, genetically speaking humans really aren’t meant to be monogamous.
We all go through phases as we age and our needs change. What I wanted when I was a teenager was different in my 20s and is again changing in my 30s.
So what I’m asking here is along with the two, three or more phases in our lives, multiple career changes, should we have a different partner for each phase?
Something to listen to while you ponder this – Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt.

This is part one of this topic as I think there are many angles to approaching this subject. All I really have to say is that Wikipedia has a topic on this and therefor it is worth exploring. 
Romeo and Juliet is an obvious example of this phenomenon and I would like to think that this was the case between the lead characters in one of my favorite movies, Contact.
Wikipedia also provided some songs related to this :
The song “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” contains the statement: “I loved you at first glance.”
The song “With a Little Help From My Friends” has the lyric: “Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes, I’m certain it happens all the time.”
The popular song “Love At First Sight” by Kylie Minogue describes this phenomenon.
I had lunch with a friend today and he claimed to have experienced this magnetic attraction on several occassions over the last year. For me, it has happened less than I can count on one hand. The latest experience is something I need to think about more because it was unexpected and inconvenient timing. I think that’s when it happens though – when it is least expected. You can’t look for it or even hope it will happen, and you definitely can’t control it when it does.
