Truth

The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

"I remember tears streaming down your face When I said, I'll never let you go When all those shadows almost killed your light I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone...

...but all that's dead and gone and passed tonight."


Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now



I could have been someone and so could anyoneI took my dreams from you when I first met you
I kept them with me, babe, and put them with my own
I can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you.



The One that Got Away

Remember the glowing lights on the sidewalk.
Remember the hope in our hearts, remember the excitement in our eyes.
Remember when I believed this would be forever?
Remember holding hands in the snow?
Remember when you were young and innocent, remember how sweet that felt.
Remember four in a row, all eyes on the one.
Remember staying up too late and waking up too early?
Remember when it felt like home.
Remember when it felt like forever.
Remember feeling invincible? 
Remember falling in love, hard and fast.
Remember never wanting to forget.
Remember knowing for sure everything was going to be okay.
Remember knowing what you wanted from every situation?
Remember laughing, so much laughing.
Remember the necklace, the blue one?
Remember breakfast in bed.
Remember broken promises.
Remember lazy days, and wrapping paper on the floor?
Remember the candles and the music.
Remember the magic?
I remember.
I want to feel invincible 
and 
I want to laugh.
So much laughter.
Merry Christmas to the one that got away.
Please try and remember.
