"Hoy ya me voy" by Kani Garcia

It's possible to write songs
For man has done so much for the arts
It's possible to tear down walls
To only build even bigger houses

But I was never able to love you
No matter how I tried
I even pressed my lips against yours
And gave you my body

Now tired I stop and ask
"Is this what we deserve?"

So I'm leaving dear
And I hope you have a nice life
I refuse to cry cause I know I tried to love you
I said no to happiness
Cause I could only think of yours
How I'd learn to love you the way you loved me but
Today I'm going away

I know I could have stayed longer
But something told me it was too late
No matter what efforts I used
The end would be unavoidable

It hurts cause you were everything I wanted at some point
But if loves no longer there i know desire wouldn't be enough

Suffering from the memories and living in remorse 
I must go my dear
And I hope that you have a nice life
I refuse to cry cause I know I tried to love you
I said no to happiness
Cause I could only think of yours
How I'd learn to love you the way you loved me but
Today I'm going away

It pains me that I leave you so lost and alone
Yet I hope you are fine and can give
Someone else the best of you, like you did with me...

"It's not good bye" by Laura Pausini

And what if I never kiss your lips again
Or feel the touch of your sweet embrace
How would I ever go on
Without you there's no place to belong

Well someday love is gonna lead you back to me
But 'til it does I'll have an empty heart
So I'll just have to believe
Somewhere out there you thinking of me

Until the day I'll let you go
Until we say our next hello
It's not goodbye
'Til I see you again
I'll be right here rememberin' when
And if time is on our side
There will be no tears to cry
On down the road
There is one thing I can't deny
It's not goodbye

You'd think I'd be strong enough to make it through
And rise above when the rain falls down
But it's so hard to be strong
When you've been missin' somebody so long

It's just a matter of time I'm sure
But time takes time and I can't hold on
So won't you try as hard as you can
To put my broken heart together again

"El problema" by Ricardo Arjona

The problem wasn't finding you
The problem is forgetting you
The problem isn't your absence
The problem is that I'm still waiting

The problem isn't really a problem,
It's just that it hurts.
The problem isn't you lie
The problem is that I believe you.

The problem isn't that you play
The problem is that its with me.
If I loved you're freedom
Who am I to change you?

If I got stuck loving alone
How am I to make you love me?
The problem isn't loving you
The problem is you don't feel the same

How do I get rid of you if I don't have you?
How do I get away if you're so far
How do I find an eyelash on something with no vision
How do I find stability in something that was always broken
How do I find the kisses you never gave me

 How do I get rid of you if I don't have you?
How do I get away if you're so far?
The problem isn't changing you
The problem is I don't really want to

The problem isn't that it hurts,
The problem is I like it.
The problem isn't the damages
The problem is the scars.

The problem isn't what you do
The problem is I forgive you
The problem isn't what you say
The problem is what you keep to your self

"Sale el sol" by Shakira

This week without you
has felt like 100 years.
I wanted to kiss you so bad
it made my lips chap.
Now I see fear made us do
stupid things.
It left us deaf and blinded
time and time again.

But a day after the storm
when least expected the sun comes up.
From doing math you lose count
cause one plus one is no longer two.
But when you least expect it
the sun comes up.

I cried to the extreme
of what I thought was possible.
Even if I felt invincible...
There isn't a pain that lasts 100 years
or body to take it.
And the best is always saved for last...

But a day after the storm
when least expected the sun comes up.
From doing math you lose count
cause one plus one is no longer two.
But when you least expect it
the sun comes up...

"Almohada" by Marc Anthony

There's not two loves like ours in life
No matter how you look for it,
no matter how well it hides
You sleep with me every single night
Sleep soundly so soundly
That's why i love you, why i adore you
In my life you're my everything, my treasure

Sometimes I come home drunk with anguish
I kiss you all over, touch you every where
but you are asleep, you don't feel my touch
I hold you to my chest and fall asleep
but then i awaken and you're not there with me
only my pillow

Sometimes i watch you be silent and absent
and suffer in silence like many people
While wanting to yell for you to come back with me
I know I live only to make you fall for me again
but at the end of the day, this suffering
like words is swept away by the wind

...and that's why I come home drunk with anguish
I kiss you all over, touch you every where
but you are asleep, you don't feel my touch
I hold you to my chest and fall asleep
but then i awaken and you're not there with me
only my pillow...

"Lips of an angel" by Hinder

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

"Once upon a time in NYC" by Huey Lewis

Now it's always once upon a time
In New York City
It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true
But beginnings are contagious there
They're always setting stages there
They're always turning pages there for you

Ain't it great the way it all begins
in New York City?
Right away you're making time and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out you're on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends

So, Oliver, don't be shy
Get out there, let go and try
Believing that you're the guy
They're dying to see
'Cause a dream's no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in New York City

If it's always once upon a time
In New York City
Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone?
How could anyone stay starry eyed
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain is saying, "Now you're on your own"?

So, Oliver, don't be scared
Though yesterday no one cared
They're getting your place prepared
Where you want to be
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City

Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
And it's always once upon a time
In New York City

"To love you more" by Celine Dion

Take me back in the arms I love
Need me like you did before
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more

Don't go you know you will break my heart
She won't love you like I will
I'm the one who'll stay
When she walks away
And you know I'll be standing here still

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

See me as if you never knew
Hold me so you can't let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

And some way all the love that we had can be saved
Whatever it takes we'll find a way

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

"If I aint got you baby" by Alicia Keys

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game

Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before but that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby

Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love him

Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be?
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby

Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby

Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

If I ain't got you with me, baby
Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby

"Algo mas" by La Quinta Estacion

Sometimes I feel I've lied to you
when I say "I love you"
because this is no longer love.

Sometimes I wonder if I was dreaming
when I wake up and you're gone
because this is no longer love.

It's something else, something that fills me
that doesn't hurt or confuse me
something more, something more than love...

It's something more than just distance
than the pain or the nostalgia
(we already know that can't keep us apart)

It's wanting to kiss you goodnight
and letting your hands make love to me
and letting 'us' grow every day
because we're something more.

Sometimes I feel I've lived
over 100 years with you
because I know this can't just be love

Sometimes I wonder if it's a mean trick
cause of the way you made it into my life
because I know this can't just be love

[Chorus]

"A que no te vas" by Ednita Nazario

You say you're tired now of my (evidently) rude laughter
that my cravings go too far
and that you're tired of listening to my weird ideas.
But at the same time you have to admit
that I drive you crazy when I brush against your lips.
If it's not true then tell me why
are you still here?

I dare you to leave
I dare you to take with you what little faith we have left
to go on.
Who do you think you're kidding
with that threat of breaking the heart I already gave away.
I dare you to leave.

Don't tell me off again
like some child who doesn't want to understand.
Let me be as I am
that my defects don't compromise what I give.
If its barely morning why call the day a waste already?

-CHORUS-

What right have you...
what right have I?
To put end to this we shared.
Why let you go...
why should you leave?
I defy you today,
I dare you to go...

"Insensitive" by Jann Arden

How do you cool your lips
After a summer’s kiss
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare
How do you block the sound
Of a voice you’d know anywhere

Oh, I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Your casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me
Maybe You might have some advice to give
On how to be
Insensitive
Insensitive
Insensitive

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush
How do you free your soul
After you’ve found a friend
How do you teach your heart
It’s a crime to fall in love again

Oh, you probably won’t remember me
It’s probably ancient history
I’m one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I’m out of hope, I’m out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have
Some advice to give on how to be
Insensitive

I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Your casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me
Maybe You might have some advice to give
On how to be
Insensitive
Insensitive
Insensitive

"Hasta Ayer" by Marc Anthony

Please understand I don't mean to offend you
nor am trying to be forward.
For you are the sole owner of your life
of your body and your nights.
I confess I fell in love as a child would
but I also confess I have no regrets.
I enjoyed your experience
until I calmed my anxiety.

I was the master of her bedroom
and pillows.
I had her kiss for kiss,
skin against skin.
And the sun surprised us in the morning
now tired of delirium and pleasure.

Till yesterday, till yesterday.
And pardon me madam
but when the soul cries
silence isn't the remedy to calm suffering.

Till yesterday, yesterday
I find out my elegant lady
now has another lover
who maybe in time
she will treat like she did me.

She bound me with her kisses
until I was her prisoner
and kept me in her ruthless games
by showing me her passion.
And then came betrayal.
And as if I were a child she told me her love
she could give to who ever she felt like.
Such a horrible woman
and I still can't bring myself to say anything against her.
She played with my emotions
to a point I no longer believe in women's lies or their tears.

"Thank you" by Dido

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last
and I'm soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Allegation - Adaptation of "Si no me amas" by Ednita Nazario

You know... I'm angry.
Because you suddenly disappear when I ask for more.
when you were the one to ask for commitment.
And then you pull away.
You're like a wave that washes over me and just as quickly is gone.

Can you tell me why you step up and demand commitment
then act like you're unaffected by me?
When I take your life with a single kiss
what is that?
How can you say its nothing?

You return, like nothings happened
few words later, I'm back in your game.
Yet by morning all I'm left with are crumbs,
Left overs of your "love".
You're my punishment, like a bad habbit I'm not willing to break.

"Recuerdame" by Marc Anthony and La 5ta Estacion

Remember me when you're sleeping and I'm guessing what you're dreaming
When far away from our bed, and you think about me
Remember me.

Remember me when I leave and don't come home
When the cold and sadness get the best of you
Remember me.

Remember me when you look in the eyes of the past
When I no longer awaken in your arms
And when you're invisible to me, to me.

Remember me loving you
Looking you in the eyes
Tieing myself to your life
Remember me loving you
Waiting for you calmly
No judgement, No hard feelings
Remember me, remember me
Remember my soul is tattooed on your skin

Remember me when you feel your heart is restless
If desire and your love don't keep you going.
Remember me

Remember me when you look in the eyes of the past
When I no longer awaken in your arms
And when you're invisible to me, to me.

Remember me loving you
Looking you in the eyes
Tieing myself to your life
Remember me loving you
Waiting for you calmly
No judgement, No hard feelings
Remember me, remember me
Remember my soul is tattooed on your skin

"Sin miedo a nada" by Alex Ubago & Amaia Montero

I'm dieing to beg that you not leave me.
I'm dieing to hear you say the things you'd never say.
Yet I stay silent and you walk out.
I keep my hopes that
someday I'm able
to not hide these wounds that reopen
when I think that I fall in love with you
over and over every day...
How long must we wait?

I'm dieing to embrace you,
to hold you real tight.
I'm dieing to entertain you.
And to be kissed when I wake up
with my head against your chest,
until the sun wake up.
I get lost in your aroma,
I get lost as your lips come closer whispering
words that aim straight for my heart.
Words that echo in my mind.

I'm dieing to meet you,
to know what you're thinking,
to open every door,
and beat every storm that wants to tear us apart.
To get lost in your gaze.
For our love making to wake up the sun
And to kiss untill our lips wear off!
And see how that smile grows upon your lips
with each passing day.
To make, unmake, to dream
and let everything happen...
Unafraid of suffering.

I'm dieing to tell you
exactly what's on my mind.
I'm dieing to give you my all
and still be able to surprise you.
To feel that spark every time I see you.
Who cares what 'they' say?
If I'm crazy that's all on me.
Now I look around me once more
and it seems the world is in my favor.

[Chorus till close]

Just a little something I made on my fridge last night with the Magnetic Poetry I bought on eBay. Expect more like this. Enjoy.

"He's going to change my name" "I'm going to have his babies" "but not in person yet"

"Picture" by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow

[Kid Rock]
Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at you, while I'm lyin next to her

[Sherly Crow]
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they wont tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me
Somethin' just ain't right
I been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I saw ya yesterday with an old friend

[Kid Rock]
It was the same ole same "how have you been"

[Both]
Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey

[Kid Rock]
You reminded me of brighter days

[Sheryl Crow]
I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was headed to church

[Kid Rock]
I was off to drink you away

[Both]
I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back home

Got the Magnetic Poetry I ordered off eBay a few days ago. Hopefully tomorrow I get that dry erase board so I can use them on the plane.

Grey's thoughts on: Intimacy & Boundaries

"Intimacy is a four syllable word for: Here is my heart and soul, please grind into hamburger, and enjoy. It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without. Intimacy also comes attached to the three R's... relatives, romance, and roommates. There are some things you can't escape. And other things you just don't want to know."

"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know. If you're willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side... is spectacular."

-Grey narrating at the start and ending of an episode

Mission

-Lt-

Yes. Horrible things DO happen. Happiness in the face of all of that? That's not the goal. Feeling the horrible and knowing that you're not gonna die from those feelings...that's the point.

"Porque hablamos" by Ricardo Arjona and Ednita Nazario

HIM / HER / BOTH

You say,
then I say
And that's how our daily war starts.
I arm myself with adjectives,
you conjugate the worst part of my past.

I aim where it hurts
and remind you of the worst of your sins.
You get all deffensive
and fire where you knew it hurt the worst.

On the battle field
lays the minutes of time we're killing.
You say,
then I say.
And that's how the daily war ends,
this war without reason that no one wins.

Because we argue
and we don't use that time to kiss
to paint with our hands the carresses we desire
and we don't give each other...
..Because we argue
about what's yours and mine
about the past and who's to blame
while an other minute dies because we argue.

I already told you
it's not true.
You already said you aren't what I said.
Nobody settles,
neither accepts.
We each only trust in our own words.

Now the ghost of doubt
opens way to what ever lays ahead.
And the 'now' that's slowly dieing,
finds comfort in what little we have left.

I love you
and you love me.
But we're both too ignorant to agree.
And as an other day rises
we are left with wounds that will never heal.
Wounds from an illness called "I said too much".

"Como si no nos hubieramos amado " by Laura Pausini

Yesterday I concluded
from today I start without you again
and your lack of presence?
it's almost as if I was see through

I try to get away
escape the torment

Yet I find reason to stay
and I say nothing
I can't seem to get away
and erase every moment destiny brought our way
so we can live as if we had never ever loved each other

I will survive
Don't ask me how, i don't know yet
Time heals all and it will help me
feel a little different.
So I can forget you although its a little too soon

Yet I find reason to stay
and I say nothing for I cant get tired of you
and erase every moment destiny brought our way
so we can live as if we had never ever loved each other

..As if we had never loved each other
..As if we had never felt like this
And I try to get away, I try to escape but...
Again I find reason to stay, I say nothing
even though all i want is to beg
you don't leave me
don't abandon me
with all the memories

And then and then and then and then
we will live as if we had never ever loved each other

"Better than me" by Hinder

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)

"Ahora quien" by Marc Anthony

Who is your embrace going to deceive?
Who are your lips going to tell lies to?
To whom will you whisper “I love you” to now?
And later in silence, give away your body
Making time stop upon your pillows
Spend a thousand hours lost in your gaze
as he spends his life loving you…
Who will it be?

And who will write you poems and letters?
And who tell you his fears and faults?
Who will you let sleep against your back?
And later in silence you'll whisper “I need you”
Whose breath will become your own?
Who will lose his way in your gaze?
And who’ll forget his life while loving you?
Who will it be?

Who will it be if it’s not me?
I look at myself in the mirror and I feel ridiculed; illogical.
And then I imagine you giving away the sweet scent of your skin,
Your kisses, your eternal smile and even your soul in a kiss,
in a kiss that goes the soul,
In my soul awaits that kiss that could have been.

[Chorus]

Who's bed will you leave your scent in?
Who will be left to smile at the memories tomorrow?
Who's hours will go by too slow?
And then in silence he’ll long for your body…
On whose face will time stand still?
Who will spend a thousand hours at the window,
and who will lose his voice calling out your name?
Who will it be?
Who will it be?

"Suelta mi mano" by Sin Bandera

No its unnecessary that you understand
since reasons are not reasonable to your heart
for hearts don't reason.
Baby please don't bother
you don't have to explain yourself,
I'll always love your freedom
even if its pained me.
I understand you wish to talk
that sometimes you need to know about me
but I'm not sure I want to know about you,
live like this,
continue like this.
Thinking about you.

Let go of my hand already,
comprehend that I have to leave.
If you aren't feeling this any more
then there's nothing more to be said.
Please say no more,
I understand you but try to understand me
each word pains me further
and makes me want to cry.

Please don't try to stop me,
I always find a way of going on, moving on
even if I don't have it right now.
Babe its no longer worth it,
why would you bother calling
if who I used to be will not reply
its all over with.

I understand you wish to talk
that sometimes you need to know about me
but I'm not sure I want to know about you,
live like this,
continue like this.
Thinking about you.

Let go of my hand already,
comprehend that I have to leave.
If you aren't feeling this any more
then there's nothing more to be said.
Please say no more,
I understand you but try to understand me
each word pains me further
and makes me want to cry.

"Insatiable" by Darren Hayes

When moonlight crawls along the street
Chasing away the summer heat
Footsteps outside, somewhere below
The world revolves, I've let it go

We build our Church above the street
We practiced love between these sheets
The candy sweetness scent of you
It bathes my skin, I'm stained of you

And all I have to do is hold you
There's a racing within my heart
And I am barely touching you

Turn the lights down low
Take it off, let me show
My love for you insatiable
Turn me on, never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you insatiable

The moonlight plays upon your skin
A kiss that lingers takes me in
I fall asleep inside of you
There are no words, there's only truth

Breathe in breathe out, there is no sound
We move together up and down
We levitate our bodies soar
Our feet don't even touch the floor

But nobody knows you like I do
'Cause the world may not understand
That I grow stronger in your hands

[Chorus x3]

Baby, oh yeah
We never sleep, we're always holding hands
Kissing for hours talking and making plans
I feel like a better man, just being in the same room
We never sleep, there's just so much to do
So much to say can't close my eyes when I'm with you
Insatiable the way I'm loving you, oh baby, yeah

[Chorus till close]

"A simple kind of life" by No Doubt

For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife

I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
I don't know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all the love
You came along, I'm hunting you down

Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine?

I always thought I'd be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you'd be a good dad

Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

"Aunque no te pueda ver" by Alex Ubago

If yesterday was a bad day
calm down I'll write a song to see if
that way i get you to smile
If all you want is to run away
walk slow I'll write a song
to see if this way I get you to stay.

I have nothing else to give but
this fear I get of never seeing you again.

I think i see the rain fall
but I look out the window and it's not raining
it's all a reflection of how i feel
Because I miss you
I just want you to know, my love
if you're feeling down ill cheer you up
If you're feeling lonely call me, I'll be right there
Even though you're far away

Of all the things I've missed
I keep the memory
I'd say the best was glances exchanged once upon an April
Sad glances upon me, stain my skin
and now mark me like tattoos.

I have nothing else to give but
this cold loneliness
I feel like i owe you so much more...

I think i see the rain fall
but I look out the window and its not raining
it's all a reflection of how I feel
Because I miss you today
I just want you to know, my love
if you're feeling down I'll cheer you up
If you're feeling lonely call me, I'll lend an ear
Even though you're far away

"Hands Clean" by Alanis Morissette

If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much

Ooh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from
me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it

Ooh this could get messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
I've more than honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

what part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
what part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
what with this distance it seems so obvious?

Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done
up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm
body

Ooh this could be messy and
Ooh I don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

"Near to you" by A fine Frenzy

He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
'Cause I knew he'd never love me back

Such pain as this
Shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss,
Still a little bit delirious

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

You and I have something different
And I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be

He's disappearing
Fading subtly
I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me
Please

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I belong
Where you are

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
Though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

Yet, I'm better near to you.

My thoughts on: Grace

Grace is not letting stuff show on your face. Saying mean things with a smile. Being assertive but not pushy or aggressive.

I love ballet, I have since i was 3 or 4. Can I tell you a secret? Ballerinas smell. They smell of sweat. Sometimes they even smell a little fishy after a performance. But those odors don't really come to mind as you see her dancing across the stage. What about those jumps? They hurt. But none of that shows on our face. That's grace, doing difficult tasks and making them seem like they're easy, like we didn't spend hours a day training for them.

I think grace could sometimes be summed up in two words: "game face".

My thoughts on : Sexy

I was just reading a blog and I rarely leave comments for people but I couldn't help myself and my comment turned more into a rant so I might as well post it here.

What is sexy?

Lots of words pop into my mind... Grace, assertive, security, sensuality, sexuality...

And now onto my rant. This was my comment on her post:

I also like Johansson. In my mind an actress should be a canvas, ready and available to perform any role given to her and even tho she has her 'thing' (a septum piercing) she chose a piercing that she could keep to her self when nessesary. Not that they wouldn't pick her for a part if she had a huge tattoo on her back since make up and special effects would have hidden it but the fact she can adapt to ANY role naturally without the NEED for such i find graceful. (Deep down we know shes hardcore since she has that little ring on her nose ;) )

I love tattoos and piercings but like her I have opted for marks on my body that I can keep to myself, even in my underwear.

To me this just says "so you've seen me naked... But have you really seen EVERYTHING there is to me?" And that is MY definition of sexy.

And now to blog about that :P

I miss you

It can easily be said that I only miss you a little. A little too often. A little more every day... Every second of every hour of every day I suffer from the lack of you. When I'm not talking to you I'm thinking of you. When I have no intentions of thinking of you, I dream of you. My body and mind calls out to yours, to your memory, to you wanting me too. It's an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired by you... Held by you, whispered to and laughed at by you. When I say I miss you it isn't just words typed up in an email, text message or comment on your myspace. Those three words can easily be translated into "I love you", "I need you" and "I wish I was there" because I don't plan on missing you forever. I want to be with you forever. And because I could never replace saying that I love you, I tend to tell you that I miss you at the beginning of a conversation and that I love you just before we hang up. The day has barely started and already I can't wait for your call. Until then... I'll miss you.

"Almost Lover" by A fine Frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

No

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

A few explanations

Well my other blog by the same name has closed because of the 'situation' I described in my last post and here we are... Starting from scratch. I could have transfered everything over but I think a new start was kinda necessary. Well here we go.

Disclaimer

If I say a song isn't mine, IT'S NOT MINE. Just because it's on my blog doesn't mean I wrote it. I post a lot of people's songs because they say how I feel and I let you know it isn't mine. Sometimes the Lyrics don't exactly mold to my specific situation so I change them. And that will also be pointed out. Think about it like Fan Fiction. You take someone else's characters or story and write it the way you want it to be including a disclaimer :)

Also on both lyrics that are and are not mine you may find parts that are Red , these are the parts of the song that hit the nail on the head about something or really called my attention.

I can't draw for shit. Now that I've put that out there, the art work I feature here is because I love it and I thought I would share with you. Usually there will be a link to the artist's page or the image it's self will lead you there. None of it is mine. Same with webcomics.

The post secret stuff is just that, secrets. If they were my own, which i HAVE submitted some and 2 made it into publication, I wouldn't post them here :P So I just consider them art by anonymous artists and are also here because they caught my eye.

Don't make a big fuss over stuff I enjoy and thought of sharing with you.

My posts

Not every post is about me, nor is it directed towards someone I am with or have been with. Most are simply inspired or based on what someone else is feeling or how I felt at some point in my life and have now found the words to express it.

My Labels

Lyrics - It can be a song by me, or by someone else. If it's not mine, I will specify who it's by.

Quotes - Just a quote found somewhere or heard in a movie. If I am not the source of said quote, I will make it available.

Rants - I sometimes tend to over explain stuff or give advice to people. Later when I read my thoughts over, I find them worthy of being posted here. For the most part they will be titled "My thoughts on..."

Adaptation - My own lyrics based on someone else's song whether it just uses its music or I changed some words around to make it fit with what I'm trying to get across.

Just feel - When that is all I can do and I can't explain it.

Translation - A translation of someone's song. Sometimes the words or idioms aren't exactly as the original author wrote them but by using other words the words are more fitting. (We all know not everything can be translated 'literally' such as expressions or sayings).

SSIMH - "Song stuck in my head"







I think that's all I want to say for now, if there is anything else I feel needs explaining, I will post it.
