mmmm :)



I Love You - Sarah McLachlan

I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road

we meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around us disappears

just you and me
on my island of hope
a breath between us could be miles

let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek

oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away

and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to say I need you so

oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away

and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to say I need you so


One of my favorite songs of all time. I listen to it often, but on nights when I'm sad I find it soothing, if not a bit emotionally provoking. But it always speaks to me, reminding me that I'm all to often closed off and reserved to people I love and/or want to get to love me. It's been the downfall of more relationships than I care to recall, with yet another added to the list. So my New Years resolution this Jan 1st, 2006 will be to try to be more open and let people get to know who I really am. I wish it was as simple as writing it down, because it's something I've struggled with all my life.
