Am I okay?

Well, that's the first thing people ask me when I tell them what happened. Obviously, I'm not. Outwardly, of course I am. How can I not be? I'm too proud to show weakness and too distant to show vulnerability. I'm a sentimental person and I get emotional over the slightest issue. How can I not be?

Like the moth that flies towards fire, I'm just fatally attracted to you.

Has the time come? Has death been served on the platter? Have you taken the poison wine?

Then, let God give a sign, to when I can find a pillar of strength, of love and of wisdom.
Let's not waste youth and fertility, let that be the reason to live!
Until our purpose is achieved, when we see our labour bear fruits and propagate, let's not rest.

Amen.

A talented colleague sang this the other day and it resonated with me and how I'm feeling.




I've been down a lonely street tonight
And I don't know what's wrong with me
I don't know what's wrong with me

 But clouds cover up a Dublin sky
I don't know what's left of me
I don't know what's right with me

And I tried to keep my distance 
And I've sung Amazing Grace 
I've tarnished all our memories 
But there'll always be a trace of you 

Of you I remember laughing on that river's edge
Trying to get you to jump with me
Trying to get you to fall for me

And your trembling heart it beats so fast
Holding hands you promised me
Holding hands we counted to three

And I felt your slipping fingers 
And I saw you change your mind 
If I hadn't dragged you in with me 
You would have left me dive without you 
Without you 

Yeah they send you all the way from Hollywood
And maybe that Dublin sky was changing you
It put diamonds in your eyes
I always thought we were gonna make it through
But I wanted to hear it first from you

How many days am I gonna regret you? 
How many nights till I forget you? 
Have I been wasting all those years 
Held down by these tears 
How many dreams have I left deserted?
How many hopes have been diverted?
Have I been buried in the dirt 
Held down by this hurt 
And how many lows did I let you highjack
How many ways can I study the playback
How did I end up lying here
Crying underneath a Dublin sky?
How many days am I gonna regret you?
How many nights till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years?
Drowning in my tears
How many nights am I gonna regret you?
How many days till I forget you?
Have I been wasting all these years
Drowning in my tears?


It's gonna be tonight. It would appear that nothing is in my favor. I no longer have any strength nor wisdom to change anything. I'm fighting with my last bit of breath.

I remember a year ago, after we first met and got together, it rained quite often as well. I would think about cuddling under the blankets with you. I recall the many times, I woke up next to you and hear the pattering rain just outside the house. We only pulled closer to feel warmer together. I've always thought of you fondly whenever it rained.
Fast forward, a year on now, we're not even talking, no longer any warmth.

Did it hurt the most now because of our age, because of love, because of? Did I try the hardest for you because of? I don't know. I wished I knew the reasons to anything and the solutions to everything. But then i wouldn't be living life, would i?

And so, dear God, I'm still hoping. Please send me your blessings.

Can you hear me?
I know it's not right, but i just can't walk away.

Can you stop this war that you've started?

I surrendered myself long ago...

God, please give me strength to go on with everything at home, at work and in love.
God, please send your blessings for me to love and be loved. Amen.

I want a love like what Daniel sings.





And when we fight we fight 
And it ain't a pretty site 
Well it's not complex 
It's the make up sex 
Though we always get that right 
Well they don't make a pill 
That can give me the thrill 
When you look at me 
Then I hear you say 

Take me out spin me around 
We can laugh when we both fall down 
Let's get stupid dancing with cupid tonight 
When I sing out of key 
Still play air guitar for me 
Let's get stupid dancing with cupid tonight 
Don't feel all kind of right
