Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images
No
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy

And so I'll run but not too far,
in case you chase me, oh
But this is how it goes, baby.
I'll get angry at your words and I'll go home
And you won't call after me
'cos I'll be back before you know, you know
this is the way we are. maybe thats just the way things are meant to be. so maybe a relationship doesnt have to be perfect and maybe people just need to go through cycles of being together and breaking up and making up again if thats the only way to be together. cycles of the same mistake over and over again because to give up on that cycle would be a bigger mistake.

it has been eons since i last blogged about something that was close to my heart. i havent seemed to get in touch with that inner me that likes to discuss issues and develop insights. i think i have descended to being a brainless girl with no mind of her own who just shops and eats all day long. it makes me scared to realise that. it's like suddenly, i despise myself. how did i let myself get here? with no views, no opinion, nothing.
see, my secondary sch history teacher used to say that you need to think to be clever. and i do agree. if you let your mind stagnate, if you allow yourself to just be, without challenging yourselves to ponder about the world around you, you will be a very boring person. sure, you may have fun, but there is no enrichment. there is nothing deeper than what meets the eye. so yes, an interesting person (to me at least) is someone who holds views about current affairs, who can actually hold a conversation about religion, politics, love, justice etc etc. Ive always envied those who could be so intelligent. there's a distinction to be made between people who absorb and people who formulate. the latter is a more aggressive projection of one's mental prowess. it demands independent thought and a thorough understanding of that absorbed. so you see, opinionated people are clever people. (provided, of course, that your opinions are not complete rubbish)
its difficult to have an opinion. how many of us have reacted to news, current affairs, stories with a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders. it doesn't affect us, so let's move on. the thing is, we are so apathetic and cocooned in our little world, we have made a fool out of ourselves. its almost like we live in our own shrine. yes, shrine. we worship ourselves. we dont care enough about anything other than us. therefore, we dont feel enough to have an opinion.
its difficult to have an opinion. its even more difficult to have an opinion about many things. we would have to have an interest in many things in order to bother thinking and pondering over those things. for example, i could not possibly have an opinion on the history of basketball. i dont think i even know the rules of that game. how intelligent they must be, those people who have an opinion about many things. it must mean that they are interested and passionate about many things in life. their minds are always on the prowl for something exciting, and they cling onto thoughts and expand upon those thoughts instead of just letting them slide. its almost like exercising your mind and training it. you need to work at the different "muscle groups" and not be lazy about it. so yes, people who think deeply about a variety of issues are really fascinating individuals.
how cool would it be to be able to discuss at length any topic in the world and to have insights to all of them. and sadly, i will never be like that. im just not that smart. it just makes me scared that i have now stopped thinking altogether. i am now, stupid and on my way to alzheimers. great.
