True self
But only if my love lingers
if I can hear her slow heartbeat
Only if she lay close beside me
will I remember my true self
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't say any words without sorrow
I can't hear the sound of my footsteps
I can't remember my true self
There is beauty in the first light of dawn
There is beauty as dusk win the world over
But when I look into the eyes of my love
I see more beauty than I ever could imagine
But only if my love lingers
if I can hear her slow heartbeat
Only if she lay close beside me
will I remember my true self
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love" -Niel Gaiman

Gillar om det du skrev! Mysigt att se en del nyttiga grejer och inte endast det vanliga sakerna som man kan se om hela tiden. ;)
