I am alone today... I remember that quote which I used to get in my e-mail so often and I used to take not more than 5 seconds to delete it. It was something like this...
"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."
One thing I am sure of, is that you were definitely not here for a season. I am really not sure where this lyf is leading me but I am ready to face all the challenges and take on whatever comes my way. It was a bumpy ride till now, and I am sure God doesn't have anything better than this in store for me. That is how lyf has been for me. Decision taking has always been a pain, be it for any reason. Even when confused, I was never given enough time to evaluate all my options at that time so had to take whatever decision, people thought was best for me that time. You taught me live life the way you want to. Work when you want to work continuously. No one stopping you for anything urgent because you give your work the first priority in lyf at that time. Enjoy when you want to enjoy. Party every night if you want, and drink until you fall down. I knew I could do that just because of you and you were always there to help me even when I was unable to help myself. Whatever it took from you, you never lost faith in me. I was so weak and vulnerable and I could not afford even one more setback and you really understood the gravity of that and never let anything touch me. Probably I can call you something like a guardian angel for me who was sent to take care of me and hold me when I needed someone the most. In this short span of time, you taught me that we can learn anything we want.
I'm only me when I'm with you
Songwriters: Orrall, Robert Ellis; Angelo; Swift, Taylor Alison;
Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin' pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don't say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you.
[Chorus:]
I'm only up when your'e not down.
Don't wanna fly if your'e still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half im only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.
Just a small town boy and girl
livin' in a crazy world.
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.
And I don't try to hide my tears.
The secrets are my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say you can't live without me.
[Chorus:]
I'm only up when your'e not down.
Don't wanna fly if your'e still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half im only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.
When I'm with anybody else it's so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.
[Chorus:]
That I'm only up when your'e not down.
Don't wanna fly if your'e still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half im only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah
Now that you are gone, I feel the vacuum within me. Now I understand what you meant to me and why I did not take an opportunity to thank you for all you have done. You are gone, although not un-reachable still, but feels like you are not away from me. It all happened in such a short span of time that I could not even accept and understand what was happening. You have guided me through all the situations and you can't just run away from your responsibilities. Yes it is your responsibility to take care of me. I can claim my part of YOU. A true friend, a roommate, neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger - but when you lock eyes with them,
you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.
Another good quote I came across - A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"
Coming soon.. Part 2 of this post because of a recent development ... :-(
