In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while
I'll be there
In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love
When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there
In a little while
I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've know her since
Since she was a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while
Slow down my bleeding heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light
Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
- "In A Little While" by U2
Beautiful song, isn't it? Never told you this, but used to listen to this quite often when I used to come pick you up.
Thought I was confused for a bit...again! But I've come to the conclusion that I'm not.
Maybe nostalgic, not confused. And if, after all this time, I'm still nostalgic, I guess I'm just a creature of habit. I know it wouldn't have worked out anyway between us- you were the wiser one after all- but I can't help remembering. And I am truly sorry for that. Because that means I will have to put up my walls and delineate fallback positions whenever I meet you. A pity, when I have never been as honest with someone as I was with you.
Thank you for giving me that space, allowing me that freedom, for demanding that truth and integrity from me. You have taught me so much. I shall never forget.
It was good to see you smile, to give you a couple of hugs again.
They'll never be the same again, though, will they?
It was good to see you again.
All my love always,
A

For a second there I was blown by those lyrics. Thought you wrote it yourself. One line gave it away! :) Word of caution, dont be TOO honest! No one is worth it! NO ONE.
Moving on is healthy. Everyone needs their own time and space to do it in. Sometimes, one needs a lil push in the right direction as well. Move on.
Hobbit: Thank you. Wish I could write that well. As far as honesty goes- I disagree. Someone out there is worth it. Being completely honest does leave you open to pain, lots of it sometimes. I can see how people can be practical about relationships...but I find that difficult. Call me a silly romantic or whatever, I am idealistic when it comes to relationships. The perfect relationship, IMHO, is one where you can be completely honest with the person, and she with you. If you can't be yourself with that special someone, then who can you be that way with? Of course it hurts when things don't work out, but one learns to bounce back. One has to.
CM: I agree. Moving on is healthy. Sometimes it takes a little more time for some people. In this instance, I have moved on. I usually do. Albeit after a period of short-lived but intense depression. Sometimes I think my preferred state of being is misery. Or maybe I'm just a drama queen! :-)
No worries, the sun always rises again.
Drama queen.
*sigh* Dragin needs glasses? I said 'dont be TOO honest'. Am all for honesty. But theres no need to beat someone over the head with it! :-)
ok dragon! time u livened this place up! too much depression is bad... and sooooooooooo many serious posts aint good. more poems about apple trees pls :)
Ashwin,
Mach...dragon's darkness is getting too dark and depressing da. I agree with you on the honesty thing da but it won't hurt to exagerate sometimes.
