All Out Of Love.

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Like An Old Song.

You Are 24 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

On some days, age catches up with you and grips you at your feet; too old for the funfairs, too old for the pony rides, you realise that all you want to be is right at home, away from the rest of the world (but just for awhile).

O Do Not Love Too Long

Sweetheart, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other's,
We were so much at one.
But O, in a minute she changed --
O do not love too long,
Or you will grow out of fashion
Like an old song.

-William Butler Yeats

love of my life.

from grey’s anatomy

Addison: Well isn't this cosy. Can I join in or are you not in to threesomes?
Meredith: I have to go.
Derek: Meredith... [To Addison] You really are Satan, you realize that right? If Satan were to take physical form he'd be you, everywhere ... all the time.
Addison: I am not Satan.
Derek: How come you haven't gotten on your broomstick and gone back to New York where you belong?
Addison: Stop being petty.
Derek: Stop being an adulterous bitch.
Addison: You know there was a time when you though of me as your best friend--
Derek: There was a time that I thought you were the love of my life. Things change.
Addison: Derek, have you ever thought that even if I am Satan and an adulterous bitch that I still might be the love of your life?

msn conversation, josh said

do you really think i haven't thought of everything you just said.
i just told myself.
that. FUCK. i don't care if the person who i suspect is the one for me dumped me.
i don't care if it's a possiblity that i might end up alone
i will not, WILL NOT, DAMN FUCKING WILL NOT just end up pining for some FUCKWIT who didn't love me in the end.
i don't care that i've never met anyone as perfect
i don't care that i've never met anyone who ever made me feel the way she did.
i have my pride and dignity as someone who other people care about.
who believes that i'm worth something
that i'm going to say fuck her.
and just keep looking forward
because regret sucks.
and i sure as hell ain't going to wallow in it forever.
you dear. you gotta just not think about what if i never do.
and just say. ah hell. i'll take it as it comes, and hope i find someone.
cos i ain't gonna settle, and the one person who wasn't a settle isn't interested. too bad for her/him.

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses.

Only young undivided hearts are able to love so unabashedly, so completely, and with full confidence, unshaken by the weight of experience.

I cannot forget the way you looked at me while I sat writing you the little Chinese note from across you; the intensity of your eyes enamoured me and there it was, the moment- it was as if the butterflies in my stomach had risen- its flapping wings tickled the doors of my chamber lightly at first, then it fluttered harder, so overwhelmingly hard my heart was racing, trembling, and soaring altogether.

-

I haven’t felt this loved, treasured, appreciated, secure, and protected for a long time now. Your surest belief in me is astounding, and it makes me want to give you my all.

a kiss under the mistletoe.

You're a Romantic Kisser

For you, kissing is all about feeling the romance
You love to kiss under the stars or by the sea
The perfect kiss involves the perfect mood
It's pretty common for kisses to sweep you off your feet

days that are over.

Days that are over
Will not continue to last
If you try to construct the past

josh and i started chatting on icq at 3am in the morning, and starting up icq after not touching it for what, 2 years now, was like opening my eyes to a strange new discovery. it's a brilliant program, this icq thing- i remember the thrills of changing bits of information on the menu that allows you to fill in data like your home address, job, telephone number... because that was where you'd make subtle confessions of love or make a statement about yourself- i remember some being awfully profound, and others, just poseur haha. but those were good times; icq was such an important source of entertainment online, and i still remember happily typing away on my dell desktop and smiling myself silly because thats what chatting online does to you. i was ecstatic last night when i heard the "uh oh" and the "send message" sounds and scrolling through the list of old nicknames and trying to remember who each of them were brings back way too many memories. i remember *emmanuel*- the nickname that is- it was icq that started us talking, and when my dell crashed for some three weeks, i wrote him letters so that we wouldn't lose touch, and we later got attached; i remember the tell-tale-heart- i always looked forward to seeing him online late into the nights in my later teenage years, he inspired much of my lyricism today because he was always such a poet, and he still writes ever so beautifully. i remember so much, the list could go on but i mustn't indulge in such nostalgia. the past will forever be a window of heart tugging memories i so often turn my eyes to; my teenage years were really the best years of my life, the golden age if i might add. i don't like growing up at all, i don't.

but who's to stop this process? brace myself now! onto my environmental law essay. Indonesia's systemic problems have contributed to its lack of capacity to deal with transboundary pollution.... ;(

fishing for a dream.

lets go fishing for a dream
lets find some place new
somewhere we can be ourselves
some of the time

An unconventional Saturday spent under magnolia skies: there was romance in his song, laughter in his eyes, an amusing sing song quality about his voice, and a naturally perfect boyish charm to his smile. So much more a moral anchor than I’ve known in any boy, his youthful idealism never fails to inspire, and the ways in which he shows his concern are refreshingly sweet, like a warm vanilla milk bath. Some people are simply remarkable at what they do- lifting the weight of the world off your tired shoulders, while instilling a quiet innocuous joy in that expectant heart.

Sharing ice cream never felt this fine; you make me a very happy girl.

How You Are In Love

You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often.

You tend to give more than take in relationships.

You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered.

You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.

You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

Linger
by the Cranberries

If you, if you could return
Dont let it burn, dont let it fade
Im sure Im not being rude
But its just your attitude
Its tearing me apart
Its ruining everything
And I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

But Im in so deep
You know Im such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong
I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldnt be so confused
And I wouldnt feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
