I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe
The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see
The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
爱,很简单 - which basically translates to 'Love is Simple'.
David Tao's very first single back in 1997 was '爱,很简单'. And when I first discovered this song, it became my new anthem. It is something that I held true even till this day - 爱,很简单. Love is simple.
And why shouldn't it be? I have always believed in this. I don't believe that you need drama to make a relationship work. I think love should be basic and simple and intangible. It's something that you feel. It's that feeling you get when he holds your hand, or strokes your hair, or just looks at you with so much emotion.
Love is simple.
No one said love is easy. But then again, it should never have to be too hard. Love should just come naturally. You should not have to move mountains just to have your feelings reciprocated.
So thank you David Tao. Thank you for teaching me what love is all about.
I think it's about time I stopped focusing on what I don't have, and start focusing on what I do have instead.
Nothing is ever gonna make me as happy as I am right now. I have everything I could ever want in life. I don't have a single reason to feel inadequate or sad. It's time to snap out of it and stop craving sadness. Which I think is something I tend to do whenever things start getting good... I wait for the other shoe to drop.
Fact is, I have achieved more than a lot of others my age. There are always gonna be better people out there, and I can envy all I want. But perhaps I could also be an object of envy.
I'm not a particularly career-minded person, because I believe I have other priorities - like family. And that's ok.
I don't have ring on my finger. But I have a boy who loves me more than anything, and who I love back. I have a family who's more than supportive of my perfect relationship, and that is more than enough for me. I want a relationship where both sides never stop trying. And I never want to stop chasing him. I never want to stop telling him that I love him. I never want to stop gazing at him with nothing but admiration in my eyes. I never want to stop surprising him with notes and messages, or little presents and gifts. I never want to stop giving him the world.
I think that one of the biggest reason why relationships do not work out in the long run is because at one point, one side (or both) stops trying. Before one claims another person as their significant other, they would do anything to make that person happy. They would chase, they would flirt, they would be charming. They would send daily morning and goodnight texts every time you wake up or go to sleep. They would write corny messages and pick up lines just to make sure that there is a smile upon your face. But once they claim you as theirs, all of those things eventually stop. The 5 page texts slowly turn into 1. The constant calls turn into not calling at all. And the lovely endearments turn into daily arguments. In order for a relationship to work, don’t ever stop chasing. Just because the person you want is now consider “yours”, it does not mean they deserve anything less than the time when you’re trying to win them over."
Katrina I can't stop looking in your eyes
But my words don't come out straight
I don't know what to say
On monday I tell myself you gotta wait Dave,
Don't rush it, don't anticipate, take it slowly
It's ok, It's ok.
And I just want a chance to know you to know the woman deep inside,
And I don't wanna look back on life to see this missed opportunity
To get to know you
Even at the risk of looking like a fool to you
On Wednesday I casually walk on by to find that you're not there,
I act like I don't care.
But on Friday I catch a glimpse of you I tell myself don't hesitate,
You just walk up and say hello! Say hello!
And I just want a chance to know you to know the woman deep inside,
And I don't wanna look back on life to see this missed opportunity
To get to know you
Even at the risk of looking like a fool to you
I just want a chance to know you to know the love you have inside
And I don't wanna look back on life to see this missed opportunity
Even at the risk of looking like a fool to you
I find it so funny that the people who treat you like shit gets offended when you finally do the same to them.
What happened this past weekend has completely caught me off guard.
I never gave you a reason to hate me. You're just creating your own little drama of pure insecurity. So before you judge me, make sure you're perfect. I don't have enough middle fingers to let you know how I feel.
If I were really such a fucking bitch, I would make your live a living hell. But you know what? I'm not. So I'll just sit back and watch you do it yourself.
I'm so done with being upset and crying over things that I cannot control. At the end of the day, I don't have any guilt weighing on top of me.
