Accidentally in love.

"Accidentally in love" a song by Counting Crows. You may have heard it, as the song is a soundtrack from Shrek. I like it^^ but must wonder what does it mean? Falling for the least expected person? Or simply for someone that is off limits?

Wouldn't that be fun? suddenly finding you have fallen for someone you didn't expect, or when you hardly believed to find it. But how does that work? Sure, most can say love or infatuation has found you by surprise. You go to a party and well there, you are introduced to someone whom you end up having a romance with or someone who kiss you. that kiss may be just a kiss with only the promise of passion rather than romance, nonetheless it is a start. Even for just a moment it is a blessing you could say, a reminder of how it begins and a temporary wail to shade the bitter thoughts and the memory of the ending catastrophe.

With those reminders it should be hard to continue the single life, however the bitter hurt from a broken ego tend to stick even longer then we wish consciously. Being single can be fun, of course. No obligations, no guilt for flirting with people you get to know, or condemnation for cuddling with someone when you get tired. No guilt, but there is that longing that one, two, three and more accidental acquaintances does not fulfil. When you have been single for a while you tend to turn to the friend with most experience on the clue of dating. Just bare in mind, the expertise may not be for romance, but for affairs.

(from Will&Grace)
- I go on literary thousand of dates a year. I'm an expert of course I'm right.
: That doesn't make you an expert, it makes you an escort!

An escort, or a free spirit. But nonetheless no love finder, or hitcher. Friends are well and good, you wouldn't make it half as well without them, yet when desperate you may be willing to jeopardise a friendship for the benefit of a relationship... Falling for one whom was there all along; a friend with no basic romantic intentions. Perhaps that is accidentally in love, to turn to those close to you, whom you love from before but not romantically.

Accidentally in love, it has a certain charm
