…gUu…

time waits for no one as sure as the tide pulls the ocean
as sure as the path that has been chosen, cannot be changed
in my life’s destination i searched for the explanation
for some kind of reason for my sorrow and pain
but in my isolation i learned to listen
to be thankful for the love that i’ve been given

in my desperation i swore never again
would i hear all the laughter of my friends and my family
a million tears that i’ve cried then began to dry
in the silence of the night time
i have come to realize a sweet inspiration
and it filled my horizon
it gave me the heart to go on and never would give in

this is my journey, a journey through life
with every twist and turn, i’ve laughed and cried
as the road unwinds
this is my journey, and i’ve learned to fight
to make me strong enough, to lift me up
and to bring my dreams alive

i’m going to love each moment of every day and every night
i’ll look back to the past with the sweetest smile
for now i realise i’ve been given the key to life
i’ve been kissed by the angel by my side

"the journey" ~ 911

when you’re young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun

then you grow up and learn to be cautious

you break a bone, or a heart

you look before you leap and sometimes you don’t leap at all

because there’s not always someone there to catch you

when did it stop being fun and start being scary?

when it comes to relationships, maybe we’re all in glass houses

and you shouldn’t throw stones, because you will never really know

some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less

the thing about relationships is that

there are those that open you up to something new and exotic

those that are old and familiar

those that bring up lots of questions

those that bring you somewhere unexpected

those that bring you far from where you started

and those that bring you back

but the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all

is the one you have with yourself

and if you can find someone to love the you you, well, that’s just a dream come true

someone has once told me, i’m not meant to be tamed

i’m supposed to run wild until i find someone, just as wild, to run with

you shouldn’t have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it.

maybe our mistakes are what make our fate

without them, what would shape our lives?

perhaps if we never veered off course

we wouldn’t fall in love, or be who we are

after all, seasons change

people come into your life and people go

but sometimes the past is like an anchor holding us back

you have to let go of who you are to become who you will be

can you get to your future if your past is present?

can you let go of your partner’s past to see the future?

i’ve done the merry-go-round, i’ve been through the revolving doors

i feel like i’ve met somebody i can stand still with for a minute

it took me a really long time to get here, but I’m here

would you want to stand still with me?
