All that I need, is a song in my heart. . .
Hey..
Well, I don't know. I have a serious long term girlfriend, and we love each other, we're thinking about getting engaged eventually and stuff like that, right? So we sleep together (the way you put it, not having sex), every now and then.
We'll be like watching a movie, and fall asleep in each others arms sort of stuff, or whatever. Stuff like that.
Well I used to think that stuff was fine, no problem at all, because it didn't make me think about sex at, that wasn't even part of the equation. I wasn't worried at all about being tempted into having sex, and neither was she, and that's never been a problem.
So it seemed fine, because we're not having sex or even coming close to that, right?
Well... it would be fine, if it was just us, probably... but there's other people involved, too. People who look up to us. My brother.
Let's pretend that he finds out I spent the whole night with my girlfriend. I'll tell him "It's okay, we didn't have sex". And he'll probably believe me. But, then what if he gets a girlfriend, and he's like "Well, it's okay for us to spend the whole night together, because my brother did", and then he does it, but then he ends up having more trouble with temptation? Then he might end up having sex, and it would pretty much be my fault, because it was my example he followed that led him to fall, even though I didn't do anything really that wrong.
I don't know. I used to think that sort of stuff was totally okay, but now I'm not so sure.
That's really cool of you to think of your brother and the kind of example you are setting. I would really hope I would do the same if I had a younger sister but don't know that I truly would.
