Love is only a feeling

The Darkness - Love is only a feeling

The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met
And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get
I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger's hand
An assault my defenses systematically fail to withstand

'Cause you came at a time
When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
Was the be-all and end-all
Love is only a feeling
Drifting away
When I'm in your arms I start believing
It's here to stay
But love is only a feeling
Anyway

Oh, the state of elation that this unison of hearts achieved
I had seen, I had touched, I had tasted and I truly believed
That the light of my life
Would tear a hole right through each cloud that scudded by
Just to beam on you and I

Love is only a feeling
Drifting away
When I'm in your arms I start believing
It's here to stay
But love is only a feeling
Anyway, anyway

Love is only a feeling
Drifting away
And we've got to stop ourselves believing
It's here to stay
'Cause love is only a feeling
Anyway
* i love this song almost way too much. truly. i feel a lot for not only the lyrics but also the emo sounds of the bass guitar. the choice of words gave the song an incredibly believeable meaning. saying "anyway" personally is to cease further explaination. i guess it's just very me to stop producing more words when i'm frustrated. the introduction and end to the song is marvellous. music make known everything. it says, "goodbye, i don't believe in love for now." (in my opinion)
so is love only a feeling? perhaps it may sound immature but sometimes, you just think it like something intangible/invisible that it's just a passing wind. what's with the fast heartbeat? cupid at work? what's it with the playing miss green eye? when you see couples laughing happily? what's it with saint valentine that you see ladies accepting roses and gentlemen smiling as they received their gifts? and not forgetting Christmas... the season of love where love is all around. then you really hope that someone special spends the day with you.
sounding sad? not at all. i'm not really looking for love. i'm waiting for love and i shall seize the opportunity when the angel of love strikes. and that isn't gonna be easy. for one thing, i don't know what is right for me.

love comes in many forms though. love from family. love from friends. love for pets. above all, love from the big guy above.
anyhow, listened to what a friend said about love. i think the past is sweet however, it's not ever gonna be the same. i can testify that. i can only say time is a good teacher.
alrighty, that's all for now. love your neighbour. :)

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Grandfather Lee: YOUR vision, not mine!

Mr Lee (Kuan Yew) is a well-respected figure in my family.  I shall take a picture of the biographies my parents have religiously bought some other day (maybe I should contribute by purchasing Hard Truths just to complete the collection).  Anyone who studied Singapore history would respect him in some way or another.  However, lately grandfather Lee seemed to be revealing his true self and not bothering much about how the current generation thinks about our society. Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite

I believe that a person's life experiences will largely influence how they behave & react in any given situation. I believe that I have become more optimistic nowadays. Thanks to: 1) God, 2) boyfriend & close / good friends, 3) inspirational & motivational books, These 3 things really played a huge role lately; especially this year. Personally, I am into the idea that one should eliminate anything that brings you down. I know that "eliminate" seems like a BIG word, what I'm trying to put across is, don't let anything come between you and your dreams. To being wealthy is genuinely 1 of my desire. It is the thought of being affluent & rich someday soon that keeps me going forward. In my opinion, becoming rich doesn't have to cost you anything. Meaning, you don't have to sacrifice your very precious time with your family members; neglecting what's emotionally of higher importance. I'm a believer that there's a way to strike a balan...
