i carry your heart with me

a poem i found among my mails...

--------------------------
i carry your heart with me
by e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Chasing Cars

Chasing Cars
by Snow Patrol

We'll do it all Everything On our own

We don't need Anything Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know How to say How I feel

Those three words Are said too much They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads

I need your grace To remind me To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Upside Down

Upside Down
by 6Cyclemind


I’ve been spending some time, thinking i’d be alright
Don’t know if I could really make it tonight
Lie awake in the dark, come down then I start
Thinking about you is almost breaking my heart

I don’t know where I went wrong, or what’s going on
Baby, I fell like our love’s lost tonight
Should I stay, should I go? Well, I really don’t know
Lately I’ve been missing you so

Baby, you don’t understand our love lies lost
But you’re still holding my hand
Oh and then you walk away
Just tonight, I want you to stay

You’re turning me on, you turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down

Everytime I hurt you, well it’s hurting me too
Don’t know if I could really stay here tonight
Tired of thinking of you, I never think that you do
Tell me what am I supposed to do

Well, I just wanted to say that I need you today
Tell me it’s all gonna work out alright
I don’t know where I should I start
But with all of my heart
Baby let me be your lover tonight

Oh you know, you turn me upside down
You know, you turn me upside down

--------------------
i wonder who did the original version of this :-?

let me cry

something i found among my junk...
----------------------------------
LET ME CRY - Birch3

let me cry 'cause i want to
these tears have been welling up
for quite a time now
but i never had the time
never really had the courage to shed these tears
up til now

let me cry 'cause i need to
the years have passed without you
for quite a time now
but i never had the reason
never really had the courage to let you go
up til now

lots of times i'd want to turn back time
and live all those days together
time and time again
i'd live it all over

but i can never turn back time
i can only move on
hoping something good is waiting
but for now, let me cry
and for a brief moment, let me relive those years
full of laughter and not of tears

somebody save me

i wanna be an ice man
a man made of ice
devoid of feelings
empty of fears
but still able to save the day

i wanna be superman
a man of steel
able to fly and see the world
from a different view
but still able to save the world

i wANNa be spiderman
swinging from heights
relying on speed from gravity
and loved by mary jane
and still able to save new yourk city

i wanna be green hulk
able to release all his steam
by being nasty and green
strong and invulnerable
but still able to save everyone

i wanna be a superhero
i wanna be a hero to someone
but i am just me
and i wanna save my sanity

Still Crazy

Still Crazy by Paolo Nutini

Shut me out completely, that would not be such a sin.
Lock up every entry, make sure that there’s no way for me to get in
Won’t try to pry them open,
Never mind knock upon your doors.
Truth is that there’s no reason for me to even see your face anymore.

But I need your ears and I need them now I’ve got something to say,
I’m not here today to win you back just to remind you that...

Sure as the rain starts to fall,
Yes I’ll always remember you dear.
And though we don’t talk anymore.
I was crazy for you; yes I was crazy for you, that’s for sure.

Nothings ever easy, I think we both know that it’s true.
I was convinced you loved me, and I was pretty sure that I loved you too,
When was our final moment whats your favourite might have beens.
When was my fatal error that changed the way you thought of me ever since.

Cos I made you smile and I made you laugh,
i made nice gestures and surprised you enough?
But I made you come, but I made you cry,
I wish this was true but I’m not gonna lie.

So sure as the rain starts to fall,
Yes I’ll always remember you close
And though we don’t touch anymore.
I was crazy for you; I’m still crazy for you, that’s for sure.
Still crazy for you, still crazy for you, still crazy for you.

---------------------
I think the music and rendition of this one tugs at the heart.
Obviously, it tugged at mine.
This just goes to show that I WAS crazy, AM crazy and STILL AM crazy about someone.

Home

got this from a link from youtube's popular 'happy slip'
nice message and soothing melody
this guy should join american idol to earn bigtime

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Home - Josh Verdes

I've done my time in this crazy world
What trails have I left behind?
But no matter what I've done, I know
I can always come home

So take me home
From the beach to the bay
Take me home
To good ol' Cambridge Way
Take me home
Cuz there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than to come back to the place that made me....me
I'm coming home

And when I see this world
And all it has to offer
I know I'll stand amazed
But no matter what I see
I know theres just no place like home

Bridge:
No matter what road I take
It never feels quite the same
And yet it's all the same
So here I am another night
I can't ignore you, 64 you bring me more than words can say
You bring me home

I'm Yours

on my current playlist... i like everything about this: music and lyrics
i guess i'm falling for 'island style'

----------------------------
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm sure
(there's no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait, i'm yours 2x

no please don't complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, im yours.
no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...

Chloe's Love Letter to Clark

Dear Clark,

I wanna let you in on a secret. I’m not who you think I am. In fact, my disguise is so thin, I’m surprised you haven’t seen right through me.

I’m the girl of your dreams masquerading as your bestfriend. Sometimes I want to rip off this facade like I did at the Spring formal, but I can’t. Because you’ll get scared and you’ll run away again. So I decided it’s better to live with a lie than expose my true feelings.

My dad told me there are two types of girls—the ones you grow out of and the ones you grow into. I really hope I’m the latter. I may not be the one you love today, but I’ll let you go for now, hoping one day you’ll fly back to me, because I think you’re worth the wait.

Chloe

desiderata

i've read this poem a maybe a dozen of time already since i was a kid... but it's just lately, when someone forwarded it to me, that i realized it had a deeper meaning...
and it's something we could apply in our daily living...
in case you'r wondering, the title's latin for "desired things"


-----------------------
Desiderata
©1927 by Max Ehrmann, all rights reserved.
©renewed 1954 by Bertha Ehrmann


Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career
however humble;
it is a real possession in the
changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you
to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham,
drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Free HUGS!!!

nice campaign... i thought this started in korea... there's always someone out there who needs a hug...
here's the video for the Free Hugs campaign. i like the music to this vid so i also listed the lyrics... :)

-----------------------


here's the lyrics to the song...
=======================
All The Same - Sick Puppies
FreeHugsCampaign Theme


I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

season of smiles

a song made for the christmas season... but i consider this one an all-season song... smile: this is one virus you'd want infecting :)

------------------------------
Season of Smiles
by Itchyworms


It’s Christmas and you’re feeling down
I’m gonna pass the smile around
It’s gonna bring me closer to you

One smile will take away your frown
One smile will turn your day around
This season, there’s no time to be blue

Don’t forget to wear a smile
You’ll never know who’s smiling back at you

Every time I see you
I hear there’s something that’ll make you smile
So kiss me if you want to
Don’t you worry if we’re apart
I hope this season
Will be a reason enough to make you smile

This Christmas, if you’re all alone
One smile will make you feel at home
I wanna bring you closer to me

One smile will make the season shine
This time, I wanna make you mine
I wanna spend this season with you

Every time I see you

hope and grace

here's something from Prison Break... it's a dialogue between Fernando Sucre and an old man(widower) he met on the bus on his trip going to Maricruz

--------------------
Old Man: You running away from something?
Sucre : Toward something...
Old Man: A man living on hope... *frowns*
Sucre : You say that like it's a bad thing...
Old Man: Hope is for people who do not already live in grace.
--------------------

i think it's a nice feeling to live in grace

depth perception

here's something i like listening to from One Tree Hill soundtrack
---------------------------------
Rest In Pieces - Saliva

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It just shot down my spine

You look so beautiful tonight
Reminds me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my life

Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I'm in your reach
You held me in your hands

But could you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces

GA episode summary

"The truth hurts — so we lie."
- Ellen Pompeo, Grey's Anatomy

--------------------
Just saw the end part of an episode of Grey's Anatomy. The setting and dialogue was ok but what really caught me was the lead lady's ending line which sums almost everything up.
