I Still

Who are you now
Are you still the same
Or did you change somehow
What do you do
At this very moment
When I think of you
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that

No matter how I fight it, can't deny it
Just can't let you go

Chorus:
I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

Now look at me
Instead of moving on
I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
Yeah, I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last (to last)

I've tried to fight it, can't deny it
You don't even know that

Chorus:
I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

No, no

Bridge:
I wish I could find you
Just like you found me, then I
Would never let you go

(Need you, care about you)
Though everything's been said and done (yeah)
I still feel you (I still feel you)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right here beside you)

But still no word from you

Choices

I read this post on someone else's blog and thought I would quote it here. I haven't decided if she is right or not.

The 'Smart' Choice

On one hand you have the smart choice...the one everyone thinks you should be with, the one that makes sense, the one from the same town, compatable careers, you're friends, it's comfortable.

And on the other hand you have the one that makes your eyes light up, your heart sing, may not be rational, may not make sense, may not be the sensible decision but there is an instant attraction when you meet.

Go for the one your heart wants.

Friendship matters, liking matters, respect matters but without the spark of attraction life gets cold quickly and lasts long.

"In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing."
- Mignon McLaughlin

"There is one pain, I often feel, which you will never know. It's caused by the absence of you."
- Ashleigh Brilliant

"The only thing I hate in you is the hurt I cause you."

If I tell you I love you, you'll think I'm lying. But I'd rather tell you I love you and let you think I'm lying than say I don't love you and know for sure I'm lying.

Love is like pi — natural, irrational, and VERY important.
-- Lisa Hoffman

Can't forget

Why can't I forget you
I try so hard
I'm with someone else
I don't want to remember
Or think about what might have been
And yet your image comes still
Unbidden
When I wake up at night
As I'm falling asleep
Or during the day
When I am going about my life
Trying not to think of you
A glimpse of something
A sound
A smell
And it all come rushing back
So strong I can barely stand under its weight
And so I sit here
And ask myself why
Why
Why can't I forget you
