I'm just curious...

Has anyone ever wondered why we put in trust in the people that we do? We always seem to think that these people will be around forever, and that they will be the ones to confide in. People come and go like gas station patrons. (Yes, that sounds like GCH now that I wrote it.) But it's true. There are very, very few people that will be around long enough to disprove this statement. Sometimes it's not that big of a deal. But then there are days that you realize these people have inadvertently become the center of your life, and it all comes down like an avalanche. Some people truly are trustworthy. But you also wonder how many other people have heard the same words dripping from their lips. It's something you'll probably never know the answer to. Once confronted, the same people like to think they have no reason to explain why they do and say the things that they do, and it only propels my belief that it was all...nothing. Nothing of substance, nothing worth the time, and it never will be anything. I like to think that everything is a learning experience, but you can only be burned by this situation so many times before you begin to think that it will always be this way. And I wonder why I have trust in no one?
"Well I've been afraid of changing, 'cause I built my life around you."
