It's indeed true

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Just like that!

DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY.

Just a thought

Just watched The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. What if I had the option to erase someone from my memory? Is that a solution to anything?

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;"

Sad Songs (Say So Much)

- Elton John

(Though I don't particularly care for how is has been sung, the words are just so right.)

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know

Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on

They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much

If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues

Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much

Soon

Yeah everything takes time. This feeling will leave me for good 'soon enough'. But how does one define 'soon' especially when it's never soon enough.

Everything

Need to get everything out of my system. All the negativities that's living inside of me. I don't know how much this is going to help. I have always been skeptical of it but there's still that optimism in all of it somehow.
It's just building in me and eating me out, the inability to deal with things directly. Why am I so inherently diplomatic? Why do I feel that speaking my mind there and then would count as rude? Why do I have this need to be all calm and composed all the time, why don't I understand that no one needs to be supporting every one else's trials and tribulations all through. Why the need to be all do-good all the time? If I don't like some one, if I don't feel like helping some one out, if I do not feel like supporting some one's point of view, if I find a person offensive, if I find a person pretentious, if I do not follow some one's priorities in life, if I think some one is fickle, if despite every thing I feel and conclude is wrong, why do I feel bad about it? Why can't I just break free from all this complexities?
Someone please tell me, is it just me?

Conflict

My need to be diplomatic and the extremes of emotions that I feel is costing me my peace of mind.

Oh well...

Am such a sucker...!

One more quote

Don't force yourself to fall in love - just because you think it's your turn, wait... maybe Cupid is just havin' a hard time searching for the one who deserves the kind of love that you can give...

Questions

Just what is the point of anything anymore. That's not true I know but still that's how I feel right now. Nothing makes sense. Even talking to you makes no sense. I just don't know what I want out of all this. There's one thing that's bugging me so bad right now. I know it's not betrayal but that's how I end up feeling despite trying to reason with myself about it. I find myself entangled in this complex mesh of what if. What if we'd been together for all this time. And what if she disapproved. Would you still have ended it all? And even after we got here, why didn't you ever tell me about it. That you never intended to pursue this relationship in the long run. I know there was nothing to tell me about for you didn't know then how I felt. Even I didn't know how I felt. But I feel so misguided. What was all the talk about my uncertainties right before the break. What was that not talking to me all that time for? Were you just trying to make me feel guilty? Make me feel bad? What was the point of it? Couldn't you just have tried to understand the family issues since you'd seen and known what I was talking about? Why did you wait for so long to tell me? Maybe you didn't see the point in telling me. I can imagine. But you know you left the door open for me to walk right into the room of illusions. I know or I think I can see what's possible, what's not possible, what's easy and what's tough. I don't know what point I saw in the persistance of my feelings. What I gained by not letting things go. I just don't know. But despite everything, I still felt we'd somehow end up together. I know it makes no sense at all but I guess I was just seeing what I wanted to see. Why did you leave that chance open for me and fall in so deep? Just why did you do that.
Am just so tired of the state I am in. Just so tired. Of not being able to let it go. Why can't I be happy with the fact that I have better friend in you now than I ever bet on. Again the nagging question, just why do these things happen in life?

And...

Where there's a will there's a way, but what about everything else and everyone else and their feelings that you step on, on the way.
See. Things are never simple. Or rather we are not.

One more, So on

Don't know what exactly I want to write. It's 1:38 AM and I am still replaying the conversation in my mind. A positive. One more push towards how things should be. One more step towards accepting how things can't be. One more reality call. One more of the many more that have been. I know I have a friend in you that I wasn't sure I'd find. BUT through it all, with everything said, the pain is still there. The wish for something that's not meant to be. Something I knew all along, but something I find it hard to accept still. Just why are things this way in life?

Far Away

/*For whatever it is worth*/

"Far Away"

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Same old, same old

Don't jump to conclusions too fast and judge people.

Finally

When I was talking to you yesterday (finally) about my feelings for you, I felt a whole lot better. Like a heavy load had been lifted off my chest. A while after that I went back to being in the same state of mind as before. But now as I write this, I feel like what I ultimately did was right. Telling you that I love you too after all this time and despite knowing the fact that you have moved on wasn't the kindest of things I could have done but still there were a number of things pushing me towards it. It's just that the person you love deserves to know that you do. And I don't want to live with this lie all my life. But I told you everything despite having decided that I don't want to rekindle the relationship (I am certain you feel the same. But despite all this it felt good to know that your feelings for me haven't changed.), and I knew I was being really selfish, but I so needed some peace of mind. And it's starting to feel better. And I do hope it keeps getting better. It's bit strange but now I feel freer than I have ever felt. Just wanted to say, thanks for listening.

When even the good things shake you off balance

Two conversations. Good ones. But I am kind of going to lose sleep over both. I don't know why it happens. Come on. Good things are supposed to make you feel good. Not like this. I am happy for my friend but then why did he have to go to some other place for his Masters. He was supposed to come here. I just get this feeling that I might never see him. And that just doesn't feel good. And yeah talked to her. Decided to keep something to myself. And well she seems more open minded that I thought she was. And that brings me to a huge dilemma but then maybe it's just best to leave the past. Future should be liveable.

Pleasant conversations

Just the other day I was thinking about my friends and how I confided in each of them but about different things. How I was rueing the fact that there was not a single person with whom I could share every aspect of my life. It just made me feel like I am not being a good friend. Well things have changed a bit somewhat. And I couldn't be happier and more content. At least with this aspect of my life. I know I am never satisfied. But keeping that aside, this change came in the strangest and most unexpected way possible. With her telling me she liked the guy that I too liked. He was kind of like my first crush. I may still hold a soft spot for him. But when she said those words, I didn't feel bad. I don't know why. Of them getting together is almost an impossibility. The fact that I just said that proves that maybe I would end up getting hurt if that happened. But I don't think I'd ever feel betrayed in any way given her revelation.
There are still things left unsaid between us. But I know for a fact that I can always tell her when I am ready.

And Superman Returns

Maybe he shouldn't have. Hahaha. I just couldn't get myself to like the movie. It just failed to connect. The way Spiderman did. Or the Batman Begins did. The effects were quite cool. Loved the airplane stunt. But all through I felt like I was watching a comic. Granted it's an action movie, but still unless a flick like that moves you emotionally at one particular point, then it just plain fails. I want my six bucks back.

Reminiscences II

All the times we met for lunch or late lunch or whatever they are supposedly called. I do miss eating out with you. The times we discussed etiquettes and what not. Rushing out of office during the lunch hour with one pretense or another and then rushing back. Waiting for you to come by my workplace in the afterhours. The walks back to my place in the evenings. And your never-ending jokes about how you would climb up to my room in the night. I still remember you saying you are not necessarily a nice guy but you are and will always be nice to me. Yeah you kept that promise almost always.
The memories just come rushing in every time. I so miss you. What I wouldn't do to meet you one more time.
