I Can Do better Than That

April 4, 2007



Single Life.
Haven't really been here in quite a long time, I've almost forgotten what it's like...

The only difference is - I was 19, and constantly searching for someone to love me...or better yet, always looking for someone to love, but suffering through rejection after rejection...never thinking it possible that someone could make me happy...looking back on my poetry written then, i realise that I was naive - ignorant to the possibilities of true love.

but then I found someone who loved me...only, I couldn't make them happy, no matter how hard I tried, and in the end, it felt like there was no love left - as it wasn't made clear until after the demise of the love that actually existed. but, by then, it was too late. He didn't need someone like me. I was wrong for him. All wrong.

Twelve years later - I am no longer naive, no longer desperate, and at the same time, my faith in true love is still questioning - because, in all honesty - how do we know when it's right?

"Love is like taking the hand

from a man you just met on the street

You don't know what he's about,

and he walks to his own beat.

And he takes you on a journey

that you can't really define.

But you know it might be worth it,

you know it's not a waste of your time.

Love is like diving into an ocean

that is certainly too deep

To feel, the sand in your toes,

and the bottoms of your feet

But for, some strange reason

you stay cold and wet

'Cause you know deep down

that you haven't seen, the best of it yet

And all the while you wonder...

Is this right?

How do we knowIf we never been here before?I

s this right,

how do we know?

Should we take a chance tonight,

Should I be sitting by your side,

for the rest of your life?Is this right?

how do we know?

How do we know?

Love is like jumping from the top

of the highest mountain

Just to feel the freedom of no boundaries

and the wind in your hair

And you fly on and on,

you fly up to the moon

'Cause this freedom will bring you ecstasy,

and you know you're gonna feel it soon

And all the while you wonder...

All I had to do is paint a picture of you in my mind

And I held on tight

Just one look at you

I know everything's gonna be all right

And so I'm ready this time."
