"You call it stalking, I say walking, just extremely close behind"

That part killed me.

[l_fie]

Mom: Why don't you go play with the neighbor's kid?

The Neighbor's kid:

[AShaftOfLight]

"You call it stalking, I say, walking just extremely close behind."

You call it murder, I call it forceful removal of life

[bruncretch]

As a writer, I fucking love that this song fits my antagonist in my newest project so well.

Remember kids, there's a difference between obsession and love

[Limner_Liora]

Me, mentally collecting dozens of stalker themed songs literally just because i can:
"A fine addition to my collection"

[sanzidaakther]

"Outside your house, Shh gotta be quite as mouse"
This line was the creepiest

[emmagal]

This is the second stalking-themed song I got stuck in my head in the last month, I'm starting to worry for myself.

[fireinthehole_]

[KaiKai-vytt]

I love this "Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behind".
Pretty accurate lmao

[brandonedwards]

This song just spits Simp on another level

[carterj.c.]

I feel like this should be the the soundtrack for "You" the series. It's just sooo perfect for it. Especially the second season and probably the 3rd upcoming season as well. It just fits so well!!!

Love is when the person you love comes before your needs

Obsession is when your needs come before the person you think you love

There's a difference

[Deadline-kun]

Can we talk about the art?
It looks amazing

[Bobo_TheBuilder]

Damn.. never thought a song that is so dark like this could have such a good vibe..

[pastelquartz]

Tldr: Love is also accepting the idea to let go for your partner's happiness.

Listen, I know this song is great and all that jazz but its also important to know the difference between real love and limerance/obsession.
I guess if I can also put my two cents in this conversation, I would also say that the BIGGEST difference between love and obsession is letting go.


Letting go doesn't mean you have to stop loving them but if letting them go makes them happier and better, then that's love. Love is about compromises, sacrifices, and respect for their choices. You can be happy and in love but if they're not happy with you or think they need a break, you have to be ok with letting them go. I haven't been long on this earth but I lived long enough to tell some of you here that the most important part of love is being selfless. I have unrequited crushes and loves yet I learned to let go because if I truly cared about them as their own person, then I would respect their choices. You have to know when to set it free.

I know it truly hurts to let the person go, especially when they feel like they're the only person truly for you. But what matters more, your "love" or their happiness? If their happiness is somewhere else without you, then why are you still holding them in a cage? Why would you not let them free and be happier? I understand that feeling of being obsessive. Hell, the thrill of it alone is addicting because to think that you're the only person they love and hurting others is both toxic and intoxicating. But the more I grew up and saw what love looked like with my own eyes, I took a step back and asked myself:

"Am I doing this for them or to satisfy my own need to be loved?"

And if you threatened others because they flirted with your partner/crush, let me ask you something, have you at least tried to talk to the person flirting? No threats, just a mature conversation that could clear up some mishaps. For all you know, they didn't know your partner had you as a partner or know that you want to be in a relationship with your crush. They could also be accidentally be giving off that impression. But if they knew, then either a.) Talk to them about your feelings in an honest yet mature way or b.) Ignore that. If I had to be honest, threatening others is just toxic and immature. It's immature because if it can be solved with talking then what's the point of killing them? Don't claim the high ground just because you care about someone because if you remove them, you're also taking away a person who has love and dreams as you have. And if they're being malicious, don't stoop lower than them.

And to those in opposite end, please leave. I assure you that you are more important. I do not care if you think they wouldn't go through with their words. THEY WOULD ABSOLUTELY DO IT. They don't care about you but the IDEA of who you are and could be. They don't care about you as a person. They probably do but it's not a risk. I don't care how many good memories you make with that person, it's not worth it. Trust me, I have been in platonic but toxic relationships where I'm tied down to the reason of my staying was because they had their "good moments". It's not worth it at all. Even though I experienced it platonically, I can't imagine what it would look like romantically. If they threaten you, run. To put it simply, would you rather be in a cage, fed but trapped or in the wild, challenging yet free and TRULY happy?

Overall, love is not about keeping your partner in a (HOPEFULLY METAPHORICAL) cage but to value their own happiness. Although you can make a relationship work, you have to be open to the idea of letting them go. If you let them go, then what now? Be proud of that person but search for your own happiness. That happiness shouldn't be tied down to a person but to YOU. If you can't love yourself, how can you do so for someone else? If the person leaves, then maybe they were never the person for you in the first place. There's other people in the world and I'm sure someone will find you eventually. But if you're still clinging on to the idea of obsession/limerance and don't want to let go, then let me ask you one question to make you ponder. You don't have to answer it but look at it deep within your heart...

Ready? OK...


Would a nightingale be happier in a cage or be happier in the wild, free?
