No Time For Love - Superman

You say I do not have time for you. Do you know how painful my lyf is? It hurts so bad. Someone, please just cure me even if that requires to eliminate my existence and end my pain. You don't know that I am always busy thinking about you only. We both started on the same career path a couple of years ago. Didn't know that it would lead us here today. Things have changed. The crowd of people whom we used to have around us have vanished. 


You wanted us to work hard. I am excelling what I love to do in my lyf. I may be over-rating myself, but I have that determination and will to take me to new heights and make me a successful person. I know somewhere deep down your heart you know that I am doing the right things. This is what I was always bound to do. People are trusting me to do a lot of things for them. I can't break their trust so that I can get yours. That said, it's also not possible for me to face myself with the feeling that I have betrayed you. I have virtually forced you into so many decisions in lyf and now I just can't walk away saying that I do not have time for you. I know this is not done. Maybe I have become too selfish in this race to become successful. You have turned me into some kind of a superhero and now I can't just let that everyone's faith in me to shake. 
I’ve decided not to think about you and I am starting to get used to not talking to you. I’m trying to be happy even though you can’t see the sadness and loss that I’ve been feeling.  I have been trying to be strong in front the world. I’ve been hurt way too many times by you but you don’t have any slightest idea about it. You thought I was happy all this while and supporting you. Yes, I am happy as long as you are happy but deep down inside, my mind is on fire and my heart is burned into ashes. I don’t know why am I killing myself like this. Do you even know how badly I want inside just to be with you? I want you to be mine but I can’t make it happen. Because time doesn’t allow us to be together. Circumstances don't allow us as well. Have you ever been in a situation where you don't have any choice left but just to agree with the decision that someone else has taken for you, even if you know it's totally insane to accept it. I have been there. I have accepted those decisions. It is complicated and ironic too at the same time. Well that's why I say lyf sucks and I'm sorry for everything. I feel like I let you down and to see you this way you are makes me hurt inside. I wish I could tell you to move on and forget me. I have found it too fearful to even try to say what my heart and mind knows needs to be told to you. You will probably end up feeling deserted and screaming out loud to me what I have never had the courage to say to you.
I don't even know what I want anymore from my lyf. Success in profession will never come along with you in my lyf. I have learned it the hard way. Every time I start to believe in lyf again, it's taken away the next instant. Maybe we’re better if we’re like this, and you’ll be happy with what you would chose or should I say whom.

Superman
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor Alison;


Tall, dark and super manly
Puts papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
It's the same thing to me

He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say

You'll smile and say "How are you?"
And I'll say, "Just fine"
I always forget to tell you I love you
I'll love you forever

I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world
I'll be around

I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

Tall, dark and beautiful
He's complicated, he's irrational
But I hope someday he'll take me away
And save the day, yeah

Something in his deep brown eyes has me saying
He's not all bad like his reputation
And I can't hear one single word they say

And you'll leave, got places to be
And I'll be okay
I always forget to tell you I love you
I loved you from the very first day

I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world
I'll be around

And I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope you don't chase another girl
Don't forget, don't forget about me


I'm far away, but I'll never let you go
I'm lovestruck and looking out the window
Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be

Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the call was from you
'Cause I've loved you from the very first day

I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world
I'll be around forever and ever

I watched Superman fly away
I swear, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

Come back down

As Meredith Grey says "Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can’t outrun it, and lyf always makes more."
I had really moved on from the last post and the offline events after that. But certainly it seems the past has not yet vanished out. It has come back again. I am fed of up this cat and mouse game. This is exactly why I wrote in my previous post "I know what it is to go insane". But people don't trust me. The same old google searches are back... now a little more blunt and straight to the point. My blog has become a kind of a clue to the puzzle to locate people. I am so sorry about it. I wish I could help. 
So whatever is the reason, please stop searching and associating "______ ______ radio" and "______ ______ facebook" keywords with my blog. It has nothing to do "them" anymore.

Yes I am back to spelling it as LYF.. and  that's what sucks.

I'm Haunted (.............)

I have a very strange relationship with December, so how could I let it go without posting anything. I have been trying to write this one for the last 1 month or so. Probably the longest I have ever taken to write any post. Most of them are just a couple of hours of the unending lonely time. Last year... same time, things were so much different and better. A year more back in the history... still better. Is it still going to get worst next December? Why can't we just write a computer program to delete the memories from history which hurt us? I wish we could do that. 


I can cry all I want, and wish for things to be different, but that won't change anything in reality. It like I don't know who I am anymore. I need to start on a journey to find myself and then try to fix all my problems. I always have had this fear that you'll wake up and realize that I'm not as great as you once thought I was. I often find myself wondering about life, and whether or not anyone would care if I was here or not. I don't believe in running away from my problems. But right now, I'd do anything to get away from this place.

It would only be a matter of time before we both realize that the relationship could fall apart soon. I know that your memories would haunt me forever, but I hope that I would be able to accept my defeat boldly. Those memories would always remind me that I am a loser who never even understood the reason for losing. Still I know that it is because of me that I have lost that relationship. Yes I may be a loser, but I don't want to be called as Devdas as I have mentioned previously in some comments. There's no glory is being called a loser. All we have left is broken promises and broken hearts. Even if I had known this was the end, I would have still wanted to start.
Haunted
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor Alison;

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break

It's getting dark, and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake

Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted

Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you

He would try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead

Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted

I know, I know
I just know
You're not gone
You can't be gone, no


Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted



Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted



You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time

Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it



And what's with the google search "killing me softly back to december". Seems like that post has become really famous that people are so fond of searching that post so frequently on the internet. What is so special in that post? I am yet to figure that out. Can you help me find this answer? By the way, I haven't experienced the same situation as you because all I have gone through might just be a few co-incidents. But I know what it means to go "insane". I know what's Deja Vu. I know what it means to be "freaked out". It is as if history is repeating itself with the same characters but in exactly opposite role. Sometimes goodbyes happen so suddenly and it breaks you down to the core. But as time goes on and you see the bigger picture, you will realize that you have became stronger. "Goodbye" became your motivation. It becomes an encouragement to make life worth living. This is exactly from me to you. Thank You for being a brief part in my lyf!!!
Something keeps me holding on to nothing...........

Mean


I can just not make you feel happy. No matter what I do you're always mad at me and I can't change your mind. And will not even try to change any of your perception about me. If you have to love me, then love me for the the what you see in me... don't love me for what I tell about myself. 

If you think I am Mean.. then so be it. I will face the brunt of this allegation all throughout my lyf. But I know that I have never been mean. I am not going to write down a list of all my sacrifices here.. because probably I don't have enough. I am not God. I may have made mistakes. I am just a human being. 

With this post, I just want to convey this to you. I am not mean. I just hope you don't feel I am a liar. Mean are those who are so busy trying to bring you down that they never bother to find the time to bring themselves up. I have always wanted you to succeed in lyf, no matter if it required a little give-up from me. I have never told you about those small and petty things which are not big enough to matter with respect to you. Don't run away from me. Realize that I am the one who is with you, rather than against you. Don't tell me that I have to prove it. I won't be able to. You know it doesn't hurt more when people you love don't love you back, but it hurts the most when they don't trust you anymore. This famous quote finds its perfect place in this post here...

"There were things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him. So I buried them, and let them hurt me." 

The choice of this song is based on what you are (maybe) feeling for me. You don't have to wish that someday I will be lonely in lyf. I have been lonely enough even in the middle of a crowd all my lyf.

What worse can you ask for me. What you have gone through was caused by circumstances, it wasn't me. If I fall short of your expectations now, then its not because I have changed. 
Mean
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor Alison;

You, with your words like knives 
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man

Well you can take me down with just one single blow
but you don't know, what you don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean

All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean? 

We set out on this voyage together long back.. and now that I achieved a milestone, I think I lost what mattered to me more than my achievements. I overlooked the fact that my goals and my aims were because you were with me. This moment doesn't mean much to me today, though I always thought about it as a sparkling day is my lyf. I was too busy shaping up my tomorrow that I forgot what a wonderful present I had. These new heights have made me realize how low I have gone. I have been so selfish and so mean. Probably whatever I wrote above means nothing. It seems senseless.
There could be numerous other possibilities. Again it reminds me of the fact the I don't know the your part of this story. And that hurts!!! Yes I remember where I have read this line before. But the question here is not whether I remember or not.. The question really is do you remember it or not?

Just because my eyes are closed, doesn’t mean I’m sleeping
Just because you see no tears, does not mean I am not crying
Just because you see a smile, does not mean that I’m not dying
                            (stolen from An Unknown Girl)

Why did God not give us the power to understand relationships? Was it because he was afraid that we would destroy relationships too? Perhaps we are destroying them by not understanding the complexities in relationships. Why is it that everything has to be shouted out loud. Why can't the other person know what we think about them? Why can't they just reciprocate our feelings? Why couldn't lyf be simpler?

Sparks Fly


I am a little disappointed as slowly day by day I am starting to realize the truth. I knew I had to face it someday and it seems like that day isn't far off now. You did not tell me, but I just know it. I said to you that I don't know anything. I lied. I know that I am gonna miss you. I know that you are gonna miss me too. I know things will never be the same between us. I know whatever that did not happen was never supposed to happen at all. I know that this is just a hopeless trial and I am gonna lose it.
But no matter what, it cannot stop me from writing here on this page where you will never ever reach. And even if you find this page out sometime in future, it won't have any significance. I still won't stop me for wishing for a fairy tale. As I mentioned previously also, I know that this relationship won't work and I am just trying to take in every moment of it and I am trying to lose myself in those moments.

You sometimes feel that I take you for granted. I will never know how much you mean to me and probably no one takes you so seriously as me. I will not write about specific instances because there is no one I want to prove my innocence. If you don't feel it, then it doesn't matter if the whole world knows about it or not. I may have fallen short of your expectations sometimes, but I have my boundaries too. I always tend to bend them for you but still all I hear at the end is that I take you for granted. The thing that hurts the most is that when you are accused of something you never committed, knowingly. What we say, doesn't matter. What matters is how we make them feel. Beyond that, no act of convincing or argument can help you. People will forget what you say to them, but they will always remember how you made them feel. I may not deserver you love, but I really need it!!!

Sparks Fly
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor Alison;
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm 
And I'm a house of cards 
You’re the kind of reckless that should send me running 
But I kinda know that I won’t get far 

And you stood there in front of me 
Just close enough to touch 
Close enough to hope you couldn't see 
What I was thinking of 

Drop everything now 
Meet me in the pouring rain 
Kiss me on the sidewalk 
Take away the pain 
Cause' I see sparks fly whenever you smile 

Get me with those green eyes, baby 
As the lights go down 
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 

My mind forgets to remind me you’re a bad idea 
You touch me once and it’s really something 
You find I’m even better than you imagined I would be 
I’m on my guard for the rest of the world 
But with you I know it’s no good 
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would 
Drop everything now 
Meet me in the pouring rain 
Kiss me on the sidewalk 
Take away the pain 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 

Get me with those green eyes, baby 
As the lights go down 
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 

I run my fingers through your hair 
And watch the lights go wild 
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me 
It’s just strong enough to make it feel right 
And lead me up the staircase 
Won't you whisper soft and slow 
I’m captivated by you baby 
Like a fireworks show 

Drop everything now 
Meet me in the pouring rain 
Kiss me on the sidewalk 
Take away the pain 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 

Get me with those green eyes, baby 
As the lights go down 
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 

Yeah, my mind forgets to remind me that I am not gonna have you this time. And everytime I talk to you, I forget all of it. I can see is you. All I can admire is you, ignoring the fact about the future. And everytime we part, I come back to this same page, listen to another song, try to find my story in that song and then write it here. I know the story is the same in all the posts, but words are different. The feelings are the same, but the way to express those feelings differ. I am the same, but you differ.. Probably it should be the other way round... You are the same, but I differ. Regret that.

Never Been On The Outside


Expectations... We all have so many expectations from the people we know, from the people we love ... and sometimes even from people whom we don't know. We do feel connected to people whom we may even never have met or haven't talked to them much. Sometimes it just takes one conversation to feel a connection with someone and at times it takes a lifetime to know a person completely. 

This relationship can't work, I know this and you know this very well too and still we hope for a lot of things. Oh god, what mess I have created for myself and for others. A few know about it, others are unaware of what is going on. They only see a smile on my face because that is what I show them. It's not that I am not happy with my lyf... It's just impossible to explain. Still everyone time I see you, every time I meet you, there is an energy that is sparked inside of me. It takes days for me to realize the truth, and just one meeting with you or even one phone call and I am back to square one. I want to capture every moment of the time I spend with you and it keeps me enchanted until we meet again.
The scars of love have inspired some greatest of authors and singers... Taylor Swift.. yes darling you belong to my personal group of "Greatest Singers" !!!  All through my lyf I wished that I love would find me. When it did, it's no more just my lyf.

I have been in a lot of complex situations, some solved by mathematical theorems, some by laws of newton. But this situation is something else. I am unable to come out of it. I am so much into it, that there is no looking back now. No matter how much I try, I cannot solve it. Because I cannot solve it on my own. I have realized this. When will you? Maybe you realized it much before me, but when you don't you want to......

The Outside
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor Alison
I didn't know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn't read between the lines
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?

So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside

You saw me there, but never knew
I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late so you see
You could've helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it's too
Late to do anything

So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside 

I never knew that pain is, until I knew what is love. Love without pain is not love. You won't realize that you are in love unless it hurts you from the inside. I can still see you in my mind, but this was never the view I thought I will have of you. As described by this song, this ain't the best view, but from where I see you happy and a part of your own crowd. I could never be a part of your closed loop. I always saw me outside of your crowd, but you never knew what all I did to be a part of it. I will never tell you and I will not even write those in this blog. Those will remain in my memories and will die with me. It's a lonely place back here. I have no idea what is happening when it comes to love. No one does! There's no pattern with which you can identify and plan for the next steps. The only thing common is that is happens to all of us.

I Was Enchanted To Meet You !!!

I am almost fed of living this lyf. Most of the times I have to put on a mask which assures everyone around me that I am happy and I have everything I have ever wanted. That's true as well.. to some extent. 
I don't know whether it is coincidence or you are reading my blog. I am pretty sure you are not reading it or else you would have been mad at me by now. But feeling lonely in a crowd, I wrote about it in one of my previous posts. I guess its only a coincidence because most of us are in that situation. The one writing this and all those who are reading it (if any). We all feel so lonely at some of the most crowded places. We make ourself smile, just to make sure no one knows what is going on inside us. 

There was something special about this evening. I don't know if it was in a good sense or not. I can only comprehend the situation according to me. The aura of the evening was such that even the darkest night was brightly lit. As it is said that the night is darkest just before the dawn. But even before the dawn, it never seemed like it was dark. No matter how the day started, no matter what we both went through in the day, but the evening and the following night was just marvellous. This special night was only because I met you. I don't remember when I felt like this was ever before. Yes I was, enchanted to meet you. 


Since I first heard this song when the album was released in October last year, I have wanted to write about this song and us. But I was looking for a perfect instance or the perfect feeling about it. So now I guess its time....

Enchanted
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor Alison;

There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smiles. 
Same old tired, lonely place. 
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes, and vacancy vanished when I saw your face.
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you. 

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" 
Across the room, your silhouette
starts to make its way to me. 
The playful conversation starts
counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy. 

And it was enchanting to meet you. 
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you. 

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go.
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home.
I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew I was enchanted to meet you.

The lingering question kept me up, 
2 a.m., "Who do you love?"
I wondered 'til I'm wide awake.
And now I'm pacing back and forth, 
wishing you were at my door.
I'd open up and you would say, 
"Hey, it was enchanting to meet you. 
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you."

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go.
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home.
I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew--
This night is flawless, don't you let it go.
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone.
I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew I was enchanted to meet you.

This is me praying that this was the very first page,
not where the story line ends.
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again.
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon, 
"I was enchanted to meet you."
Please don't be in love with someone else.
Please don't have somebody waiting on you.
Please don't be in love with someone else.
Please don't have somebody waiting on you. 

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go.
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home.
I spent forever wonderin' if you knew-- 
This night is flawless, don't you let it go.
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone.
I spent forever wonderin' if you knew I was enchanted to meet you.
Please don't be in love with someone else.
Please don't have somebody waiting on you.


I don't know where our careers are going to take us, but in my thoughts we are not far apart. My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again!!!
When I was driving back alone, I was thinking if I was in your thoughts... If I am the one you are thinking about... If I am the one that matters the most to you... I never had the courage to ask you and will also never ask you. Somewhere deep down inside my heart, I already know the answer and I don't want you to say it. There are a lot more questions which I would rather never ask you. I don't know the other side of the story. 

It happens a lot of time. We meet someone, somewhere for a short period of time and once its over, we are thinking about that person. We don't know if it will turn into anything because we don't ask anything much beyond what we thought we would talk when we meet. So that's why these questions and these thoughts keep hanging around us. 
You feel like dancing, when you first meet someone who makes you feel happy after a long time - just like the first summer breeze of the year, it takes you by surprise and suddenly you feel good and you can't stop thinking about that person. You blush every time you remember their face or their talks, and you're not in love, but... you feel like living a brand new lyf, happy, somehow. Maybe you'll soon forget that feeling and that person will quickly fade away in your mind, but you just know that it makes you feel complete. All you can think about is that you'd spend hours talking to them, you're obsessed by the memory of every second you have spent with them, and you feel like you should have said more.

Some relationships are better not classified into any category.
"No matter what comes our way. No matter what battle we have raging inside of us, we always have a choice. My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself. Our choices are what makes us who we are. And we always have the choice to do what’s right."


Posting this one today (4/17), but sticking it to the time and day I should have posted it. There's a reason for it... I will remember it alwaiz... I know it.. I will never forget that night...
