...love is always infidelity, isnt it? Always a betrayal of someone or something. Even with your first girl, when youre seventeen and living at home, youre still cheating. Cheating on your parents. Pretending to be a child with them and a man with her. Having to hide the smile on your face and the scent of her on your body. And all that hiding making it so much more precious, so much more exciting. And youre cheating on your friends too. Pretending youre still one of the gang, when all you are is her lover and you could care less about any of them. And it doesnt matter how old you are, or how free you are, you still cheat. A single man with a job in love with a single girl, hes still unfaithful. Hes cheating every time he drives to work and pretends to go through the old routine, while in his mind hes really with her, rushing to her, flowing all over her. Just walking down the street, pretending to be a regular human being, hes betraying all the other human beings around him. Because hes nothing like them. Hes not walking next to them at all. Hes not even there. Hes with her.
