Just like it

Been a bit of a rough weekend so I don't have a lot to say right now (I'm too doped up with Nurofen anyhow), but I like this so I'm storing it here so I don't lose it when I need it later. :-)

Edit 2 Feb: I should probably point out that I didn't write this. It's a song from Final Fantasy X-2, available on PS2 (and probably that other box thingy who I will not deign to name) at all good games retailers. :-D End edit.

I know that you're hiding things,
Using gentle words to shelter me.
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me,
Not that easily.

I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left.
But I was listening;
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily.

"Save your tears cos I'll come back."
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door.
But still I swore to hide the pain.
When I turn back the pages,
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart.

For a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time
And distance, holding you
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever.

The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can forget
I still relive that day
You've been here with me all the way
I still hear you say,

"Wait for me I'll write you letters."
I could see that you stared with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt.
When I turn back the pages,
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait?
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late.

Cos a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though we can't see
I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings

Oh, A thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever.

Oh, a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years
To only days
They'll hold you forever


-- FFX-2

Oh, and happy February.

Hey lady :D I love the quote you have up in the top left corner.

The words are good in this post, but my brain isn't capable of taking it in, though I liked it on reading it.

Hang in there!
