i fell in love with this song in an instant

it's called SAMSON by Regina Spektor

You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth I have to go, I have to go Your hair was long when we first met Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us And the bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads But they're just old light, they're just old light Your hair was long when we first met Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed Oh I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light And he told me that I'd done alright And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one And history books forgot about us And the bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first.

i know one of these days i won't be afraid of staying with you

I didn't notice But I didn't care I tried being honest But that lead me nowhere I watched the station Saw the bus pulling through And I don't mind saying A part of me left with you One of these days I won't be afraid of staying with you I hope and I pray Waiting to find a way back to you Cause that's where I'm home Did I make you nervous? Did I ask for too much? Was I not deserving one second of your touch? One of these days I won't be afraid of staying with you I hope and I pray Waiting to find a way back to you Cause that's where I'm home What would you do if I could have you? Oh if I could I'd let you feel everything I'm thinking Wouldn't that be nice? One of these days I won't be afraid of staying with you ---- Michelle Branch

goodbye to you

Of all the things I believe in I just want to get it over with tears from behind my eyes but I do not cry Counting the days that past me by I've been searching deep down in my soul Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old Looks like I'm starting all over again The last three years were just pretend and I say Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I love The one thing that I tried to hold on to I still get lost in your eyes And it seems like I can't live a day without you Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to Ohhh yeah It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time I want whats yours and I want whats mine I want you but I'm not giving in this time Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to The one thing that I tried to hold on to Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to We the stars fall and I lie awake Your my shooting star ----Michelle Branch

my sweetest downfall

little by little nakakaya ko.. hehe. it's been a week (i think) na umiiwas ako sa kahit anong form of conversation with him..I guess, its better this way. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko syang makausap o masama ang loob coz in the first place I don't have anything to be mad about, it's just that mas nahihirapan ako everytime I talk to him and see him.. I know, I can help myself more in this kind of setup. I don't know for how long,, siguro until everything comes back into normal (sa akin lang ah kasi I think wala namang naiba sa kanya sa akin lang yata..hehe). I hope he'll find what's best for him and so do I...sha! tama na 'to.
I heard lang this song.. I kinda like it.. title is SAMSON by Regina Spektor.. few lines: "You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads...."

Words That Should Never Be Left Unsaid

>>>Remember the time you were alone with someone you cared for. You felt so in love and you wanted so much to say "I love you" but you were shy, you held back. You didn't say a word and when you looked again, she had gone. You had let that moment, the best and only time to say it, slip by. The magical moment, gone forever. You watched your bestfriend on stage, he was flawless. His perfromance was remarkable. When you saw him backstage, you pretended to be composed and all you said was, "OK!" But what you really wanted to do was hug him and jump about in overflowing admiration and scream "You were great! you were fantastic! I'm so proud of you!" but you didn't say it, you held back. Later you realized your bestfriend would have appreciated you more and felt more elated if you had said the words you felt like saying. How many times have you found yourself regretting that you didn't speak out the love, admiration, sympathy, or joy that you really felt? How many times did you want to believe the moment will come again, but had to accept that chances are it never will? How many times did you go to bed repeating to yourself.."I should have said.."? It takes a little presence of mind to grab these pockets of space and time that give us the opportunity to say the words that should not be left unsaid. We all undersatnd that these precious present themselves briefly. And we all know that as brief as they are, these are the times we must recognize as rare opportunities for us to express how much we care. Yes, words that say how much we care -- that is the only reason we cannot afford to let the moment slip by. The words are short and simple. They can be said over and over again. They never lose their meaning. No one tires of hearing them. And their impact is enhanced when said at the right moment. These are the simple but powerful words that should never be left unsaid. Compliment, everyone loves a good compliment. The best moment is when there are a lot of people around. Say it promptly, say it aloud. "You're looking good!" "Nice hair!" "Black suits you well!" "Your nails are gorgeous!" "Cool car!" "You must tell me where you bought those shoes!" --Reinforce. It sounds like a compliment but it's more of a reinforcement or affirmation of something someone did well."That was a nice thing to say" "Your performance was flawless!" "You were incredible out there!" "Hey, I couldn't have done it better!" "When I grow up I want to be like you!". Empathize, share feelings. if you were in his shoes, what words would like to hear? "You must be very proud of your kids!" "I'm so happy for you!" "This is so exciting!" "I'm enjoying this, let's do this more often." Sympathize, show compassion. Be there and comfort. Condole, "I understand how you feel." "It's alright." "You'll be fine." "Things will work out, don't worry." Apologize. This takes not only timing but also sincerity. An apology is one of the most powerful words that should never be left unsaid. It heals wounds, mends broken hearts, and brings back what otherwise would have been needlessly lost forever. Be sorry, be honest and say it.."I'm sorry." "Please forgive me." "It's my fault, it will never happen again." Express, translate expressions of love and happiness to words. The right moment presents itself all the time. Grab it before it goes away. Say how much you care. Express how happy you are. Share the feeling. Put it in words, "I really enjoy being with you." It's so nice to see you again." "I'm very proud of you." "I love you!" Appreciate, and don't forget the most important words of all, the words that express appreciation, goodwill and caring. The words that one can never have too much of, and therefore should never, ever, be left unsaid, "THANK YOU."<<<
