Lost

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep,
Standing on the edge of something much too deep,
It's strange how I can feel so much, but can't say a word,
I'm screaming inside, but I can't be heard !

-Paraphrased from lyrics I heard some place

Realisation

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.

Life is about Timing

By the end of last year I had lost my peace of mind, my ability to laugh when things got me down, my ability to roll with the punches. I was hurt, upset, sad, jaded and worried about the future.

On New Years Eve, as I hurriedly got ready, I suddenly noticed that I was wearing only one earring and had misplaced one of my favourite earrings. I searched high and low for it but couldn’t find it. Just then my friends arrived to pick me up and so I stopped looking for it, found another pair of earrings and left as I didn’t want to keep them waiting. As I sat in the car and looked out, I felt sad at having lost my earring, it seemed like the icing on the cake. Each time I believed that things could not get worse, they would. Everything that could have gone wrong had in the past week, and I was really sick and tired of things. But then I figured that I should not dampen everyone else’s mood by whining. So I made a conscious effort to forget about everything and enjoy myself.

I had a lovely New Years Eve celebration and fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning at a friends place.

When I woke up on 1st Jan 2008, as I sat up in bed and looked at the pillow I found my lost earring lying there. I have absolutely no idea how it got there. It’s completely bizarre since I lost it at my place and I found it at a friends place. But I think its sign, maybe this year I’m going to find those things I lost last year….I think there's hope still…

Friends

"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over." -Gloria Naylor

I know i've behaved like a fool on many occasions and gotten myself into all kinds of stupid situations. The only way I've been able to get through it all has been because of my friends. I'm really lucky to have quite a few close friends who've stood by me through everything. Sorry for boring you all with my whining ! This one goes out to all of you....

He

He glances at me,
Then he looks away,
So many things I want to say,
But I take his cue and look away,
And think of things so far away,

The moonlight glints on the sea,
And I think of how we used to be,
Slow dancing in the rain,
His hands wrapped tightly around me,
I know that he can ease the pain,
And this is where I want to be,

I feel the blood course through my veins,
I feel his arms surround me,
I feel at home in his embrace,
I’m in a secure place,

Candlelit dinners on the roof,
Long walks by the bay,
My fingers entwined in his,
As we gaze lovingly at each other in bliss,

We watch the flames dance on the sheets,
He holds me close and won’t let me sleep,
We listen to music by the beat,
He writes song lyrics that are oh so deep,

How things change as time goes by,
I wish I could understand why,
But for now, I think of old times when we watched the sea,
And planned things for both him and me….

Sense of Humour

A sense of humour is needed armour, it helps one deal with life and shows that the person has a pretty good grasp of life.

Complicated

I like you just the way you are,
But sometimes u seem strange by far,
It's like you're someone else,
Why do u have to be so complicated ??
You're getting me totally frustrated !!

You turn me on,
Then you turn me off like a flashlight,
I stay up all night,
But i still don't know who you are,
Why do you have to be so complicated??
When am I going to be satiated ??

How can you be so intense,
And then have no substance,
Why do you have to be so complicated??
When am i going to be appreciated ??

You promise to be good,
Love me like you should,
If its straight from the heart,
Then why do you tear me apart,
Why do you have to be so complicated??
Are you ever going to be domesticated ??

Maybe your just misunderstood,
Are your intentions good ??
Why does life have to be so complicated ??
Why can't life be like u want to make it ??
