"Happiness is a way-station between too little and too much." / / "Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are."
I don't know You at all. after all of this time. You pretend that I know You. You act like I'm the mirror you look into yet here we are at a constant impasse. simply because I don't know You.

I don't know You
today is only today. simple, yet true. simple, yet impossible to grasp. Driving in my car realizing that today is only today.

eternal
you. you who i've known for years. nine to be exact. you. are the only one who makes my heart tighten. i don't think it will ever go away. i don't think i ever want it to go away. you. here's to another nine. that don't make sense.

you.
Where does it come from? What is the spark that lights the flame? A mystery to constantly chase? How are we inspired? By a word we think we hear? By a memory we may have remembered? A question we seek the answer to? I don't know. It is easy to lose it, To forget to see what is there. Too easy to stop seeing Too easy to stop listening and only to hear. It can become just white noise. Too easy to forget to be inspired. Find it. Listen. See. Pay attention. Love. Feel. you never know what may inspire you today.

Inspiration
something tells me that i should write on here now.. have you ever had a song define something for you? a time in your life? a moment? a person? a feeling you never want to forget. or maybe its not a good thing. a breakup? bad events? past memories you try to let go of, but can't seem to. i have so many songs. so many that define my summers, my friendships, my situations. past, present, FUTURE. there is always something; someone that will ease your nerves, pump your adrenaline. make your heart POUND. emotions; love... hate. the human mind ties many things together. the human heart entwines us forever. leaves our mark.. on the world? on family? on friends? on a lover? on a stranger. we hold on to so much in our lives. is it wrong to let go? to move on? to forget? ...no.
