 Can you trust a person to be loyal if he or she cheated on someone else to be with you?

A question and a dilemma when we all think we know what love is when we really don't.

You say you've neve cheated but others cheated on other with you -- sex meaning almost nothing really, and doesn't always mean love, you telling me once about that rapper in that bar you picked up just to work things out, and me thinking how lucky he was to have you even when it all meant nothing.

At the same time, me thinking maybe I meant nothing, too, just another name in that appointment book to scratch out when my time expired, and later, me wonder if all those scratched out appointments were all a way of working things out, meaningless, loveless moments of pleasure with no regrets.
