The truth remains
In midnight conversations
I asked for this moment
But you turned away
Sad like a lonely child
Broken the day you’re born
I held the light to you
But I was so vain
And you remain
A promise unfulfilled
I ask you for more
But you push me away
And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us
Everything means more now than
Words could explain

People leave. No matter how much you want to hang onto them, no matter how hard you try to make things work – sometimes, it’s just easier to let go. For both your sake and theirs.
It’s easy to sit down, long after a crisis moment has passed, and to wonder where things went wrong. Perhaps you asked for too much, or they expected too much of you. Perhaps what you thought you had was merely something that was transitory. Maybe you were on a different level than they were.
What’s inevitable is that, some people are destined to leave you. That’s the beauty of what you share with them, really: they come into your life, like storms that are all noise and no substance. They create brief interludes of intense emotion, they burrow deep into the substratum of your existence, force you to reconsider yourself in a new light and teach you things you never knew you didn’t know. They leave you changed forever.
And then suddenly, one day, they’re gone.
You’ll miss them, maybe. For a while. Until it hits you that they were never really meant to last. That lingering too long would have soured everything.
At least this way, they leave your memories intact.

Looking for something more to say
I don’t know where I’m going
Only know where I been
But you move through my soul like a hurricane wind
We’ve been so lost for so long
I don’t know how to get back again
And we’re drowning in the water
That flows under this bridge
When you’re fighting the current
You forget how to live
And I wanted to reach you but I don’t know where to begin
And you remain
A promise unfulfilled until today
And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us
Everything means more now than
Words could explain
And if we feel the silence
Leaving this all behind us
When it’s gone what will you say?
Yup, felt this way many times. http://imnosuhperman.wordpress.com/2007/07/23/4/; here’s when.
I look at it a little differently. I always believe that I have a road to follow, a road that I believe shall take me to my destination, and I always stick to it. Similarly, there are roads for others too. There are times when a part of your roads happen to overlap and that’s when you two happen to travel together. Then suddenly one fine morning you wake up and realize there’s a diversion ahead. This is life, sweetheart!!
