♥ 21:41
After a long day at work, the only thing I actually look forward to is to look up into the sky and be greeted with an array of stars. I find comfort in them I guess. Yet, the past few nights have been cloudy and so there aren't any stars for me to gaze at. I miss the times when I was in Australia where I could just look up to the sky and amazingly, the entire sky is lit with the millions of stars. I will never forget the time when I saw the milky way. It was almost like a dream come true.
Heading out of the gym today, I was walking along the streets of Orchard Road when I chanced upon this very young couple who are already parents to this baby. My heart dropped because it is a sad sight as I know that it will take A LOT for the couple to make things work as they are so young. I cannot imagine having my dreams dashed because of a moment of folly that results in a life being created. I don't pity them but instead I worry for them because I wonder would they ever be able to experience life to the fullest? Would they have enough life experiences to tell their child as he/she grows up and asks their parents about things that they probably have never gone through?
All I long for now is someone kind enough to give me a massage for my aching body. =(
She Cries
Jewel
Time passes quickly for our lady of the hour
She brushes her long blonde hair
From her face only to find a tear
But she don’t know why she’s been crying
She looks inside herself
To maybe find an answer
But she’s willingly distracted
By the man who like’s her glitter
She says, "fool, I ain’t gold."
She don’t even know she cries cuz she’s so tangled up in lies
In her head she plays a game
Pretending that she’s not the same lady who is cheating on her husband
With a man she hardly even knows
She says, "ignorance is bliss."
But when he asks her name
She must fumble for an answer
She’s been called so many
But now she can’t remember
So she just makes up another
And she don’t even know she cries cuz she’s so tangled up in lies
Now the dirty deed is done
She heads into the bathroom
She washes her hands in the sink
And thinks it could clean her conscience
If only she could find one
And slowly she turns and heads
For the door as if this were all a dream
She has seen her sweet husband’s face
But only like a fleeting glimse
Of all those bridges she’s been burning
All those bridges she’s been burning
And she don’t even know she cries
It should come as no surprise
Cuz she’s so tangled up in lies
